How long can menstruation be delayed?

The menstrual cycle of healthy women is generally between 28 and 30 days, but many women have delayed or advanced menstruation due to various reasons. Delayed menstruation is very common. Women will be very relieved if their menstruation arrives on time, because if the menstruation is delayed for too long, there may be pregnancy. Pregnancy is a terrible thing for women who do not want children. So how many days can the menstruation be delayed at most?

First, how many days can menstruation be delayed at most? Women's menstruation is generally a signal. Sometimes some gynecological diseases can often be manifested through menstruation, so the delay of menstruation directly reflects women's health problems, but some people often have some irregular menstruation. The reasons for irregular menstruation at different ages are also very different. Generally, normal women's menstruation is delayed by a maximum of one week, otherwise other factors should be considered.

Second, the female menstrual cycle is generally 21 to 35 days, with an average of 28 days. About 7 days earlier or later is still within the normal range, and the length of the cycle varies from person to person. However, if menstruation does not occur after more than 7 days, it is considered delayed menstruation. This means that something must be "wrong" in the body. In fact, there are probably many reasons for delayed menstruation, but pregnancy factors should be considered in many cases. Because many people are unaware of it in the early stages of pregnancy, they simply think that their menstruation is delayed. So if your menstruation is delayed for 7 days, you should first check whether you are pregnant. If it is confirmed that you are not pregnant, then check whether the delayed menstruation is caused by physical reasons or external factors.

How many days can menstruation be delayed at most? If menstruation is delayed only 1-2 times occasionally and there are no other accompanying symptoms, it does not fall into the category of menstrual disorders. When the interval between menstrual cycles is more than 35 days, it is called oligomenorrhea, and when menstruation stops for more than 3 menstrual cycles, it is called amenorrhea. The absence of ovulation after amenorrhea can also lead to problems such as osteoporosis and endometrial hyperplasia, which must be taken seriously. You should go to the hospital immediately for a comprehensive examination. It is normal for the menstrual cycle to fluctuate by a week. Psychological factors such as mental tension, stress, environmental changes, medication, gynecological diseases, and some diseases that affect the endocrine system can all cause delayed menstruation. If you have sexual intercourse during your menstrual cycle without taking effective contraceptive measures, and your period is delayed by about 10 days, it is necessary to go to the hospital for relevant early pregnancy tests.
