Why is my period late? Delayed menstruation is usually caused by pregnancy, endocrine disorders, etc. It can be treated on a case-by-case basis.Under normal circumstances, it is normal for menstruation to be delayed by 7 to 10 days. If a woman has a regular menstrual cycle, it usually lasts from 21 to 36 days, with an average of 28 days.

Pregnancy

If the patient is sexually active and experiences delayed menstruation, pregnancy should be considered first. During pregnancy, the body's hormone production changes, resulting in elevated levels of progesterone and estrogen, which can lead to delayed periods. Patients can purchase test strips for testing or go to the hospital for an HCG test to determine if pregnancy is causing the problem.

Endocrine Disorders

Endocrine disorders can also lead to delayed menstruation because hormonal imbalances can affect ovarian function. Deterioration of the patient's ovarian function will lead to insufficient secretion of estrogen and luteinizing hormone in the body, which will affect the growth rate of the endometrium and thin the uterine wall, leading to delayed menstruation. Patients should ensure sufficient sleep time and improve the endocrine system in daily life to alleviate the symptoms.

During menstruation, keep a pleasant mood, avoid excessive tension, do a good job of personal hygiene and health care, and change sanitary products frequently, which can prevent gynecological diseases. If there are symptoms of delayed menstruation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in time and receive treatment under doctor's guidance.
