My period is five days late. What's going on?

For some people, their menstruation may be delayed for a long time, maybe a week or even a month, while for some people, their menstruation may be delayed for three or two days. Regardless of the reason, as long as the delay is not too long, it is actually a normal phenomenon. But if you are overly worried, you can also go to the hospital to see a gynecologist for a check-up. So what's going on if the menstruation is delayed for five days?

Regarding the reason why menstruation is delayed for 5 days, experts say that it is generally normal for women's menstruation to be delayed or advanced by about 7 days. If a female friend's menstruation is delayed for 5 days, don't be too anxious, as this is still a normal phenomenon. You can analyze the reasons causing this situation.

There are many reasons why your period is delayed for 5 days:

1. You may be pregnant. There may be other reasons as well. If pregnancy occurs, the first symptom is amenorrhea. Therefore, women who have sexual life can use the "Early Pregnancy Test Strip" to test urine 7 days after the menstruation is delayed. If the result is positive, it is very likely that pregnancy is present. If the "Early Pregnancy Test Strip" is negative, the opposite is true. Of course, the last resort is to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination.

2. It may be caused by endocrine disorders, which are related to polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure, etc. In addition, it may also be caused by gynecological diseases such as uterine fibroids and cervicitis. The side effects of drugs and improper gynecological surgery can also cause delayed menstruation. Mental tension, stress, environmental changes and other factors can also cause delayed menstruation.

If the possibility of pregnancy is ruled out, then it is very likely that endocrine disorders are causing menstrual disorders. Therefore, you need to go to the hospital for examination in time, identify the cause of the disease, and receive symptomatic treatment.

If your period is delayed for 5 days, it may be caused by psychological factors such as mental tension, stress, environmental changes, etc. The side effects of drugs and improper gynecological surgery can also cause delayed menstruation. Endocrine disorders after long-term use of contraceptives can also cause delayed menstruation. Based on patients' feedback, doctors have also found that the new generation of gastrokinetic drug metoclopramide, also known as domperidone, can also cause it. Improper intrauterine surgery can cause cervical adhesions, leading to menstrual blood stasis and also delay menstruation.
