Is it normal to have menstrual irregularities?

Patient's question:

I am already 18 years old, and my period should be normal. But usually, my period comes on the 24th or 26th of each month. This month, it has been delayed by half a month and still hasn't arrived. I'm worried that something might be wrong with me. Is this situation normal?

Doctor's answer:

If menstruation occasionally reappears with delayed periods. Exclusion of pregnancy is also necessary without sexual activity. It is necessary to carefully examine whether recent excessive stress or life fatigue is a factor. If these factors are noted, preventing or stabilizing them in the next month's life will improve irregular menstrual cycles. If the condition of menstrual delay recurs repeatedly, it is necessary to go to the hospital for gynecological MRI and a detailed check of six female hormones to see if there is a case of polycystic ovary syndrome.
