What Causes Delayed Menstrual Cycle Other Than Pregnancy?
Hello doctor My question is on behalf of my girlfriend she missed her period this month generally her periods are late 5-6 days but now it has been 12-15 days, she even did pregnancy test but it was negative so what can be the reasons, is it pregnancy?? But we didn t have sex specially intercourse. Please reply me ASAP
Apart from pregnancy, there are various reasons to delay menses as
- stress, anxiety
- malnutrition or low hemoglobin
- fever
- other systemic infections
- ovary problems as ovarian cyst or PCOD
- other issues of the uterus.
