Doctor's answer:

A delay of about one week in menstruation is generally considered normal. In fact, every person's menstrual cycle is different. Clinically, it has been found that a delay of 3-5 days is usually not a problem, and it is often related to factors such as mental stress, emotional fluctuations, and environmental changes, rather than pregnancy or other gynecological conditions. Once menstruation is delayed for more than 10 days, women of childbearing age should first consider the possibility of pregnancy. After ruling out pregnancy, they should then visit a gynecologist to rule out other diseases.
