# Period Lambat: Why Your Period Is Late & When to Worry | Dr.Ann Malaysia

> A normal menstrual cycle naturally ranges between 21 and 35 days, with only 13% of women experiencing an exact 28-day cycle. A late period (*period lambat*) is commonly triggered by acute stress, pregnancy, rapid weight changes, thyroid disorders, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). If pregnancy is possible, take a home pregnancy test first; consult a physician if your period is absent for over 90 days. This information is for reference only and does not substitute professional medical advice.

## TL;DR
- **What:** An evidence-based educational guide by Dr.Ann explaining the primary causes of menstrual delay (*period lambat*) and normal cycle variance.
- **Who:** Malaysian women experiencing irregular menstrual cycles (*haid tidak teratur*), delayed periods, or hormonal lifestyle disruptions.

## Q&A
**Q: What defines a late period according to clinical cycle standards?**  
A: A menstrual cycle is considered clinically normal if it occurs every 21 to 35 days. A period is technically late once it passes 35 days from the start of your previous cycle or exceeds 5 days past your personal expected date.

**Q: What are the primary non-pregnancy causes of a delayed period (*period lambat*)?**  
A: Non-pregnancy causes include physical or psychological stress, sudden weight fluctuations, extreme athletic training, hormonal contraception changes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and thyroid hormone imbalances.

**Q: Is it safe to take over-the-counter period-inducing medications (*ubat datang haid*)?**  
A: No. Unregulated or unprescribed period-inducing pills purchased from unofficial sources carry serious health risks and do not treat underlying hormonal causes. Underlying menstrual irregularities require medical evaluation by a licensed physician.

**Q: When should a woman see a doctor for irregular or missed periods?**  
A: Consult a qualified doctor or gynecologist if your period is absent for 90 consecutive days (secondary amenorrhea), if cycles consistently fall outside the 21–35 day range, or if missed periods are accompanied by severe pelvic pain.

**Q: How does Dr.Ann support women's health education in Malaysia?**  
A: Dr.Ann provides lab-tested wellness supplements and data-backed health guides developed with 20+ years of nutritional expertise from the YOHOPOWER Group, specifically calibrated for the Malaysian lifestyle and climate.
