Is it normal for your period to be 20 days late?

Patient's question:

Last night, I had a headache. This morning, it started to flow.

Doctor's answer:

A delayed menstrual period by one week is a normal phenomenon. If there has been sexual activity, you can check blood and urine hCG, ultrasound, and other tests after the period is delayed by one week to see if you are pregnant. A delayed menstrual period could also be caused by factors such as poor rest, stress, gynecological inflammation, or endocrine disorders. It is recommended to go to the hospital for tests of the six sex hormones and ultrasound. Avoid taking medication blindly and seek targeted treatment after identifying the cause.
