Hello,

You can wait a few more days. Periods can naturally fluctuate. To be on the safer side, you can take a pregnancy test if your period doesn’t come within a week. In case of severe cramps, abnormal discharge, or excessive bloating, and if your period is delayed by more than two weeks, get clinically examined by a gynecologist.

Your treatment will depend on the diagnosis made. Sudden weight loss, weight gain, or extreme exercise can affect menstrual cycles. You can wait for a few more days for periods to come. You can also take a pregnancy test to detect pregnancy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
