Menstruation was delayed for more than ten days

Every girl's menstrual cycle is approximately between 25 and 30 days, but if it exceeds this cycle, the situation is more serious. If the menstruation is suddenly delayed for more than 10 days, you should first go to the pharmacy to buy an early pregnancy test paper to check whether you are pregnant. If this phenomenon is ruled out, you must consider other situations and go to the hospital for treatment and resolution in time. Let's follow the editor to take a look below.

Generally speaking, a woman's normal menstrual cycle is 28-30 days. Within this range, it is normal to be earlier or later than 7 days. The length of the menstrual cycle varies from person to person. However, if your menstruation is normal at other times, and suddenly your menstruation is delayed by 10 days one month, you should pay attention. There are two main reasons for delayed menstruation: the first is pregnancy, and the second is irregular menstruation. If your period is delayed for 10 days, you should check it out. For example, you can do B-ultrasound, urine HCG test, and blood test to understand the specific situation in detail and find the cause.

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. 4. 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. If the hormones secreted by the ovaries are controlled by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, any abnormality in the ovaries, pituitary gland or hypothalamus will affect menstruation.
