How many days is it considered normal for a period to be late?
Due to factors such as work, life, and emotions, some women may experience delayed menstruation, which is generally normal for 1 to 7 days. If menstruation is delayed for more than 7 days, married women should pay more attention, as this may be caused by pregnancy. After ruling out pregnancy, it is necessary to visit a reputable hospital to check the body and find the cause of delayed menstruation to truly solve the problem.

The normal menstrual cycle is 21 to 35 days, with an average of 28 days. Therefore, menstrual delay within five days is considered normal. If the menstrual cycle exceeds 35 days, it is considered abnormal. For married women, if menstruation has been delayed for five days and still has not arrived, the first step is to determine whether they are pregnant.
1. Dysfunction of neuroendocrine function. Disorders of the endocrine system lead to imbalanced secretion of estrogen and progesterone, which further disrupts the endocrine system and causes delayed menstruation.
2. Organic lesions or drug-induced causes.
3. Related to environmental factors, mental factors, climate, etc. It is recommended that you visit the hospital for a detailed examination to identify the cause of menstrual irregularity and undergo targeted treatment.
4. Other reasons: Emotional distress: Long-term mental depression, sulking, or experiencing significant mental stress and psychological trauma can lead to menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, or amenorrhea.
