It has been more than 10 days since my period started.

Menstruation is a very sensitive topic for women, because once menstruation does not come or is delayed, it means that there is something wrong with the female body. Some may be pregnant, while others may have some gynecological diseases. Therefore, timely examination should be carried out to determine the cause of the absence of menstruation. Some women's menstruation may not come for more than ten days, which makes everyone very nervous. What happens if my period hasn’t come for more than 10 days?

1. What if my period hasn’t come for more than 10 days?

Once the menstruation is delayed for more than 10 days, it is very likely that you are pregnant. You can do a pregnancy test on your own, or go to the hospital to have a blood test for HCG to confirm whether you are pregnant. It is best to go to the hospital for scientific screening. If you are not pregnant, you should also check whether you have gynecological diseases.

2. What is delayed menstruation?

Delayed menstruation means that a woman's menstruation comes more than 7 days later than the normal menstrual cycle. A normal cycle for women is 28-30 days. It is still within the normal range if it is about 7 days earlier or later. The length of the cycle varies from person to person. If a woman finds that her period is more than a week late, it is considered a late period. There are many factors that affect menstruation, including emotions, medications, lifestyle, etc., and the specific factors vary from person to person.

3. Reasons for delayed menstruation

1. 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 result is negative, it is the opposite. But if you are pregnant, there will be other symptoms such as nausea, breast pain, etc. Of course, the last resort is to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination.

2. Side effects of drugs: For example, endocrine disorders after long-term use of contraceptives can also cause menstruation to be delayed by 10 days.

3. Caused by surgery: For example, intrauterine surgery may cause cervical adhesions and result in menstrual blood stasis, thus delaying menstruation.

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