What is the reason for a one-week delay in menstruation?

Patient's question:

Doctor,
  I would like to ask about my girlfriend. Her period is delayed by one week this time and has not arrived yet. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

The menstrual cycle is generally 28 to 30 days. It is still within the normal range if it is advanced or delayed by about 7 days. The length of the cycle varies from person to person.
Irregular menstruation not only affects the patient's body but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
