What could be the reason for not having a period for 5 days after the menstrual period?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Also, why haven't I gotten my period for 5 days after it was supposed to arrive?

Doctor's answer:

First, doubt the possibility of pregnancy and conduct a check-up for your stomach pain. You can go to the hospital for a blood hCG test to determine if you are pregnant. If you are not pregnant, then you need to identify the cause of the abdominal pain.
Menstrual extension refers to a normal menstrual cycle with a duration of more than 7 days, or even up to 2 weeks. It is often caused by incomplete luteal regression, prolonged endometrial repair, pelvic inflammation, endometritis, or the insertion of an intrauterine device. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is called "prolonged menstruation." It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a detailed examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
