Menstruation delayed for ten days, what is the situation?

Patient's question:

Now this month, my period is delayed by ten days and hasn't arrived yet. I've taken pregnancy tests three times, and all the results showed one line. But I can't eat anything, can this confirm that I'm not pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

If the menstrual period is delayed or advanced by one week, it is normal. With a history of sexual activity, if the menstrual period is delayed by more than one week, the first step is to use a pregnancy test kit to rule out pregnancy. Stress, cold exposure, environmental changes, or endocrine disorders can all cause menstrual delays. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine check-up in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
