Is it normal to delay your period by 15 days?

Many women believe that a 15-day delay in menstruation is a common situation, but this situation may be caused by illness or pregnancy. If a woman's menstrual period has not come for more than 10 days, it is recommended to use a pregnancy test paper to test. If pregnancy is ruled out, then it may be caused by illness. In this case, we need to treat it in time. So is it normal for menstruation to be delayed by 15 days? Let’s find out below.

We all know that menstruation is a very regular phenomenon. This phenomenon is caused by uterine bleeding. Under normal circumstances, the menstrual cycle is 28-30 days. If it is advanced or delayed by a week, it is also normal and we don’t need to worry about it.

The reasons why menstruation is delayed for 15 days may be:

Pregnancy: You can use the "Early Pregnancy Test Strip" to test urine 7 days after your period is delayed. If the result is positive, you are very likely pregnant. If the "Early Pregnancy Test Strip" is negative, then vice versa. But if you are pregnant, there will be other symptoms such as nausea, breast tenderness, etc. Of course, the last resort is to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination.

Menstrual irregularities: Delayed menstruation is a common gynecological disease, manifested by abnormal menstrual cycles or bleeding volume, or abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before and during menstruation. The cause may be organic disease or functional disorder. Many systemic diseases such as blood diseases, hypertension, liver diseases, endocrine diseases, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, reproductive tract infection, tumors, etc. can cause menstrual disorders.

Surgery: causes delayed menstruation. Intrauterine surgery causes cervical adhesions and leads to menstrual blood stasis, thus delaying menstruation.

Other reasons: psychological factors such as mental tension, stress, environmental changes, and some diseases that affect endocrine system. Can cause delayed menstruation.

This is the end of the explanation about whether it is normal for menstruation to be delayed by 15 days. I hope it will be helpful to you. If we find out that this situation is not caused by pregnancy, then it is irregular menstruation. This is a common situation among women. We must pay attention to it, otherwise it will affect our future fertility problems.
