What should I do if my period is delayed for a few days?

A few days' delay in menstruation may be a normal phenomenon, caused by pregnancy, endocrine disorders, etc., and can be treated with medication.

1. Normal phenomenon: Women's menstrual cycle is generally 21-35 days, with an average of 28 days. It is normal to have a period one week earlier or later. Generally, you don't need to worry too much and you can usually keep a happy mood.

2. Pregnancy: If you are a woman of childbearing age, have a history of sexual intercourse, and do not take any contraceptive measures, it is considered to be caused by pregnancy, because delayed menstruation is a typical symptom of pregnancy. You can use early pregnancy test strips and go to the hospital for examination to determine whether you are pregnant.

3. Endocrine disorders: It may be due to reasons such as staying up late for a long time and mental stress, which will lead to excessive or insufficient hormone production in the body, resulting in delayed shedding of the endometrium, prolonged menstrual cycle, rough skin and other symptoms. You can use progesterone capsules, Heiji Baifeng pills, Motherwort granules and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition to the common causes mentioned above, it may also be caused by early ovarian insufficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome, hyperprolactinemia and other diseases. If the patient has other discomfort symptoms, he needs to go to the hospital in time and not blindly take medicine to avoid adverse effects on health. Usually, you can eat more soy products, such as soy milk, yuba, tofu, etc., which are helpful to relieve symptoms.
