What should I do if my period is delayed by about a week?

Patient's question:

This year it has been delayed by five or six days, while last year it was quite on time.

Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation can occur due to two possible reasons: one is caused by endocrine disorders, and the other is primarily due to some changes in the reproductive organs, including inflammation of the reproductive organs. In your case, it is more likely that the issue is related to endocrine disorders. You should undergo an ultrasound and endocrine examination to identify the cause. Once diagnosed, symptomatic treatment should be administered.
The occurrence of irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for a routine examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be provided. Additionally, it is important to drink more water and maintain good personal hygiene.
