How long maximum delay in periods if not pregnant?Without pregnancy, menstruation can be delayed by up to 7 days. If it exceeds 7 days, there may be abnormal phenomena.

Menstruation has normal periodicity and self limitation. The normal menstrual cycle is generally 21-35 days, with an average of 28 days. Normally, if pregnancy is excluded, delayed or advanced menstruation within 7 days is considered normal and may be related to factors such as improper diet, excessive mental stress, and overwork. But if menstruation is delayed for more than 7 days, it is necessary to consider the possible presence of diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothyroidism, and hyperprolactinemia.

Women need to regularly observe the timing of their menstrual period. If there is a delay in menstruation accompanied by other abnormal symptoms, they can go to the hospital for diagnosis by professional doctors who choose relevant examination measures to avoid delaying treatment time and affecting their physical health.
