Patient's question:
The menstrual cycle is always delayed by one or two weeks compared to the previous month. If there are events during the month or if the mood is not good, it will be delayed even more. This indicates what kind of problem with the body? First follow-up question: Does it also indicate that the body is weak?Doctor's answer:
A delay of one week in menstruation is normal; if it exceeds one week, an early pregnancy test should be conducted. For instance, factors such as not being pregnant, medication, stress, high pressure, changes in environment, endocrine-related psychological factors, and gynecological inflammation may all cause a delay in menstruation. It is recommended to eat less raw and cold, sour, spicy, or irritating foods, drink more boiled water, and maintain regular bowel movements. You can undergo an electrochemical luminescence immunoassay for six hormones to understand your endocrine status.
