Why hasn't your period arrived in five or six days if you're not pregnant?

Patient's question:

Patient Gender: Female
Patient Age: 34
Menstruation is delayed by four or five days, what's going on? I'm not pregnant either.

Doctor's answer:

Premenstrual, a delay of one week is normal. Fatigue, medication, and endocrine changes can all cause irregular menstruation. If menstruation does not arrive for more than 10 days, and pregnancy is ruled out, it should be considered menstrual disorder and an endocrine examination is needed to identify the cause. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a gynecological examination at the hospital and undergo an ultrasound to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
