Under normal circumstances, a woman's menstrual period is normal if it is earlier or later than seven days based on her original menstrual cycle. Therefore, the patient's menstruation was delayed by six days, which was still within the normal range, and the patient could continue to wait. If the delay exceeds seven days, an ultrasound examination is required to observe the thickness of the uterine wall. If the endometrial thickness reaches 1.0 cm, menstruation is coming and the patient can continue to wait. If the endometrial thickness is less than 0.8 cm, corpus luteum copper and oxytocin should be used to promote menarche. However, for women of childbearing age who have delayed menstruation, the possibility of pregnancy should be ruled out first. Patients can give priority to urine or blood chorionic gonadotropin testing.

This kind of situation can be observed temporarily, and generally it will be corrected as soon as possible after the cause is eliminated.
