10 days delay, negative test

Many girls, when faced with such a situation, when they have a monthly delay of 10 days and a pregnancy test are negative, just do not know how to explain this fact. Having done several more similar tests and getting always a negative result, they begin to panic.

First of all, it is necessary to take into account that for the correct conduct of this analysis, it is necessary to strictly follow the rules and the algorithm of actions, which is described in the instruction to the test. In addition, it is most expedient to carry out the test in the early morning, almost immediately after awakening, because at this time the concentration of hCG in the body is the highest.

What are the main reasons for delaying menstruation for 10 days or more?

To determine the reasons that the delay in menstruation lasts 10 days or more, you need to start to exclude the fact of pregnancy. The fact is that in the early stages of pregnancy, it is not always possible to determine it using an ordinary test. It is best to undergo ultrasound, with the help of which the fact of pregnancy can be established on 2-3 weeks of the term.

Often, the delay for a girl of 10 days is observed due to active lactation. As is known, during the feeding of the baby by the breast of a young mother in the body produces a hormone prolactin, which prevents the occurrence of subsequent menstruation. In this case, the recovery of the menstrual cycle occurs only with the abolition of breastfeeding. During this time, bloody discharge is still possible, however, they are rather meager and irregular.

Delay of 10 days is a sign of gynecological pathology?

If a girl has a delay of 10 days, and a test for hCG is negative, then most likely the absence of menstruation is only a sign of a gynecological disease. Most often it is:

• hormonal disorders (diseases of the thyroid gland, ovaries, adrenals);
• diseases of the pelvic organs - uterine myoma, inflammation of the appendages, endometriosis, neoplasms;
• polycystic ovary syndrome.

What else can cause a delay in menstruation?

Girls, first encountering such a situation, when the delay of the monthly lasts 10 days or more, do not know what to do. In the first place, it is necessary to exclude the presence of pathology. For this purpose, numerous laboratory and instrumental examinations are prescribed. If even after their conduct, the reason is not established, a woman is recommended to change her way of life. In some cases, violations of the menstrual cycle can be caused by:

• diet or starvation - the body begins to lack the nutrients necessary for the normal functioning of the reproductive system;
• excess body weight, which is also one of the causes of menstrual irregularities;
• a sharp change in climatic conditions. Many girls note a menstrual cycle disorder immediately after moving to another region or to rest;
• constant stressful situations.

Separately, it is necessary to say about this case, when the delay of 10 days or more is observed in a virgin. In such a situation, the reason for the lack of regular regular monthly discharge, there may be a shortage of male sex hormones. It is known that along with ejaculate in the body of a woman hormones also act. If the reason for the violation of the menstrual cycle is just this fact, the gynecologist appoints the girl to take hormonal preparations that allow to correct the situation.

Thus, with a prolonged delay of menstrual bleeding, a special role is played by timely diagnosis of the cause of their absence.
