In modern life, women's physical health needs to be protected very much, because women's bodies are affected by many unfavorable factors, and it is easy to have various diseases and problems, causing serious harm to the body. For example, the symptoms of delayed menstruation are a phenomenon that many women have, which has a great impact on women's lives. Let's take a look at what happens if menstruation is delayed for five days?

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon that occurs every month in women. It is also very normal for women. The menstrual cycle is generally about one month. The first day of menstrual bleeding is regarded as the beginning of the menstrual cycle. The interval between the first days of two menstrual periods is called a menstrual cycle.

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.
