Women may experience discomfort for a few days every month, such as difficulty moving, abdominal pain, fatigue, etc. This is mainly due to menstruation. Most women should be aware that their menstrual cycle typically lasts between 28 and 30 days, with each cycle typically lasting 5 to 7 days. So what's going on with my menstrual cycle being delayed for over twenty days?
It is normal for a woman's menstrual cycle to be delayed or advanced by one week, but it should be noted if it exceeds 10 days. If a woman's menstrual cycle is delayed for more than 20 days, the first thing to rule out is the possibility of pregnancy. For this situation, early pregnancy test strips or ultrasound can be used to determine. If pregnancy is found through examination, it is necessary to further determine whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy.
If a woman's menstrual cycle is delayed for more than 20 days and it is found through examination that she is not pregnant, it may also be due to abnormal physical conditions, such as abnormal sex hormones, endocrine disorders, or abnormal reactions caused by medication. In response to this situation, timely adjustment is needed to avoid menstrual delay and instability that may affect health.
There are many reasons that can cause menstrual disorders in women in daily life, such as gynecological diseases, unstable ovarian function, etc., which often lead to abnormal expression of estrogen and progesterone in the female body, resulting in irregular shedding of the endometrium and delayed or delayed menstruation. In this case, it is recommended to go to the hospital for detailed examination.
