Doctor's answer:
Delayed menstruation, also known as "irregular menstruation," "menstrual delay," or "menstrual postponement," is a common type of menstrual disorder. The menstrual cycle of a woman is generally between 21 and 35 days, with an average of 28 days. A delay of about 7 days before or after is still within the normal range, as the length of the cycle varies from person to person. However, if menstruation has not arrived after more than 7 days, it is considered delayed menstruation. Various factors affecting the central nervous system-hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis and the uterus in women can all lead to delayed menstruation. It can occur in both ovulatory and anovulatory menstrual cycles. Women of childbearing age who experience a delay of more than 10 days in their menstruation should first rule out pregnancy.
