Doctor's answer:

Hello: Generally, a delay or advancement of one week in the menstrual cycle is normal. If you are not pregnant, this situation is likely considered menstrual disorder. There are many reasons that can cause menstrual disorder, such as emotional instability, high stress, mental tension, irregular lifestyle, gynecological inflammation, etc. It is recommended that you pay attention to your condition and, if necessary, visit a hospital for a check-up to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. You can also have blood tests done at the hospital to more accurately determine if you are pregnant.
