The inability to stop menstruation is a clear characteristic of pregnancy, and women do not have menstruation throughout the entire pregnancy period until the end of delivery. As the body gradually recovers, menstruation will resume. When women experience delayed menstruation, they need to consider whether there is a possibility of pregnancy. So, how many days of delay is generally considered pregnancy?
Generally, if the pregnancy test is postponed for more than 7 days, women can use a pregnancy test paper to check if they are pregnant. This is a relatively early time to detect pregnancy. If the pregnancy test paper shows two bars, it indicates that the woman is pregnant. Otherwise, it indicates that she is not pregnant. If the pregnancy test paper is one deep and one shallow, women can wait for a period of time to test again.
However, the accuracy of pregnancy test papers is affected by many factors, such as drinking too much water the night before the test, which can dilute the concentration of HCG in urine and affect the test results. If women want to confirm whether they are pregnant, they can go to the hospital for a blood test. Generally speaking, if a woman is pregnant, her HCG value in the body will double.
However, delayed menstruation does not necessarily mean pregnancy. Some medical factors can also lead to irregular menstrual cycles in women, resulting in delayed menstruation. Therefore, women should pay attention to it. If it is menstrual disorders, the cause should be identified in a timely manner, and treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor to regulate the normal menstrual cycle as soon as possible.
