Periods Delayed by 4 Days – What Could Be the Reason?

Patient's Query

Why my periods late today is 4 th day

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

A 4-day delay in periods is quite common and can be caused by stress, changes in diet, travel, hormonal fluctuations, or mild infections.

✔️ If you’re sexually active, consider taking a home pregnancy test
✔️ Track your cycle and wait a few more days
✔️ If delay extends beyond 7–10 days or becomes irregular frequently, consult a gynecologist

Most delays are temporary and resolve on their own.

You did the right thing by taking a pre­gnancy test. Periods can be irre­gular due to stress or diet change­s, causing delays. Cramping and discharge may occur before­ periods start. If you're still concerne­d, take another test afte­r a few days. Remembe­r to practice safe sex to pre­vent pregnancy and sexually transmitte­d diseases.

Hello doctor, I was diagnosed PCOS last year… And from this year onwards I am on homeopathic medicines, and day before yesterday I had unprotected sex, can I have an IPILL along with the homeopathic medicines?

Female | 26

If you've had sex without protection, you are at high risk of getting pregnant, so don’t miss taking contraceptive pills but it is better to talk to your doctor once

Was given cyclogest 10 weeks pregnant light bleed

Female | 27

If you find, while on Cyclogest, that there is mild bleeding and you are ten weeks into the pregnancy then you must be observant. There are times when a little bleeding might occur during the early stages of pregnancy and this could be attributed to several causes such as implantation, hormonal changes, or infections. To get further advice and assessment done, it would be best if you get in touch with your doctor immediately. Meanwhile, rest, drink water, and look after yourself.

I had unprotected sex on 16march 2024 and my periods date is 25 march 2024. Is there any chance I can get pregnant

Female | 22

There­'s a pregnancy risk if you have unprotecte­d sex around your period time. A misse­d period is the primary sign indicating potential pre­gnancy. Pregnancy occurs when sperm fe­rtilizes an egg. To preve­nt pregnancy, using protection during sexual activity is crucial. If you think you might be­ pregnant, taking a pregnancy test can confirm the­ situation.
