Patient's question:
Is it normal to have a 2-day delayed period with creamy white discharge? I've been taking care of irregular periods in the past months, and after thorough examination, it has improved, but it's delayed again.Doctor's answer:
Menstruation is considered irregular only if it is delayed by more than 7 days. Normal leukorrhea should be milky white or colorless and translucent, with a faint or no odor. Its volume and consistency are influenced by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body, exhibiting cyclical variations throughout the menstrual cycle, with periods of thick and scant discharge alternating with periods of thin and abundant discharge. Your leukorrhea is normal and milky white. It is recommended to relax and not worry too much, and wait for another 5 days to see how your menstruation comes. Persistent stress can also cause delayed menstruation. Gynecological diseases are prone to occur, and during medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene.
