What causes a delay in the menstrual cycle?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern

There are several causes for a delay in menstrual period. Hormonal imbalance and intra-uterine adhesions are the most common causes. If the period has been delayed for more than a week, or if the flow is for one or two days, it is abnormal and should be investigated.

I suggest you follow the below-mentioned instructions.

1. Get your hormonal profile (follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estrogens, day 21 progesterone, and thyroid function test) checked.
2. Get an ultrasound scan of the pelvis.

Kindly answer the below-mentioned questions to guide you better.

1. What is the color of your period?
2. Did any significant thing occur before the change in your period duration?

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
