Is it normal for your period to occasionally be delayed by 10 days?

Patient's question:

Is it normal for your period to occasionally be delayed by 10 days?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is recommended to wait and see first. If your period has been delayed by more than 7 days, you should first take a pregnancy test. If the test shows no pregnancy, it may be too early for the test to detect it, and you will need to repeat the pregnancy test after another 7 days. Of course, it is generally best to take the test with morning urine. You should also pay attention to fatigue, poor rest, or stress and anxiety, as well as environmental changes and gynecological inflammation, endocrine disorders, which can all cause delayed periods. It is necessary to identify the cause and treat it accordingly.
