The physiological phenomenon of female menstruation is like an old friend that comes once a month, but for some female friends, this "old friend" is late.

Generally speaking, if menstruation is advanced or delayed by 7 days, it is within the normal range, but if menstruation does not come for more than 7 days, it is considered delayed menstruation. The first reason for delayed menstruation to be considered is pregnancy, and the second is the impact of drug factors, mental factors, disease factors, changes in lifestyle habits or living environment on the menstrual cycle. If a woman who used to have normal menstruation and sexual life has her menstruation delayed by 10 days, she is very likely pregnant. You can do a pregnancy test yourself, or go to the hospital to have blood drawn for an HCG test to confirm whether you are pregnant. Menstruation can provide signals to identify a woman's physical condition, so it is necessary to understand the main reason for her delayed menstruation.
