Delayed menstruation is a problem that many women will encounter. There are many reasons for delayed menstruation, and it is a problem that troubles many people. In addition to pregnancy, delayed menstruation may also be caused by bad eating habits. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to their diet and avoid eating raw, cold and spicy foods, as they will cause great harm to the body. Let’s take a look at the possible consequences of a 10-day delay in menstruation.

1. Pregnancy: Ten days after the menstruation is delayed, you can use the early pregnancy test strips to test your urine at home. If the result is positive, it means that you are very likely pregnant. However, the early pregnancy test strips cannot be used as a standard to determine whether you are pregnant, because the accuracy rate of the early pregnancy test strips is only 55%-73%, so you cannot trust the test results of the early pregnancy test strips too much.

2. Caused by surgery: If you have had an abortion or medical abortion, your menstruation may be affected to a certain extent. The time of menstruation depends on the recovery of the endometrial wall, because some intrauterine surgeries may also cause cervical adhesions, leading to menstrual blood stasis and delayed menstruation.

3. Taking birth control pills: This point cannot be ignored. A woman's menstruation is delayed by 10 days, which may be related to the long-term use of birth control pills. This is because long-term use of birth control pills can cause menstrual cycle disorders, irregular menstruation, and even amenorrhea in women, thereby causing symptoms of infertility. Therefore, it is generally better for women to take less or no birth control pills.

Other factors: If women have these conditions, it will also affect their endocrine system and cause delayed menstruation, such as irregular living habits, excessive mental tension, high stress, or environmental changes. Menstruation is caused by hormones secreted by the ovaries that stimulate the endometrium.
