Worried because your period is a few days late? It may be completely normal.
Many women think their menstrual cycle should arrive on the exact same date every month, but a healthy cycle can range from 21 to 35 days. Small changes in sleep, stress, diet, exercise, travel, or daily routine can naturally affect the timing of your period.
A delay of a few days is often nothing to worry about. However, if your periods become consistently irregular, very painful, or stop for several months, it’s important to consult a gynecologist.
Understanding your cycle helps you understand your body better. Sometimes, a little variation is simply a sign that your body is working as it should.
