Why is menstruation late?

Why is the menstrual period delayed at the age of 14? What do people do at the age of 14? Studying, playing games, playing computer games, etc., editors have done these, and many women have done them too, but when many people don’t know, we women are unhappy in our hearts because the menstrual period is delayed. So the editor is going to talk about this today and let everyone take a look.

Why is my period late at the age of 14?

1. Genetic factors

The late menarche of girls may be caused by genetic factors. In other words, if their mothers or other direct female elders have entered puberty late on average, then they are likely to be affected by genetic inheritance, resulting in late menarche.

2. Irregular diet

Irregular diet is also a major factor that causes girls to not have menstruation at the age of 14. Some girls often do not eat on time during puberty, or suffer from anorexia nervosa, and being too light will also cause the start of menstruation to be delayed.

3. Exercise regularly

Some girls have been practicing some sports since they were young, such as gymnastics, swimming, etc. They usually start exercising when they are very young, and the intensity of the exercise is very high. For these girls, if they still do not stop high-intensity exercise after the age of 14, it will also affect their menarche.

Why hasn't a 14-year-old girl had her period yet? We have made a brief introduction to this issue above. In addition to the reasons introduced above, a 14-year-old girl's delayed menstruation may also be caused by long-term psychological stress or some diseases of the body. I hope that all parents and friends will pay more attention to their children.

How to detect when your period is coming

1. Many healthy women also experience some uncomfortable feelings and personality changes, and they know that their menstruation is coming soon, such as a feeling of pelvic heaviness, back pain, headache, breast swelling, edema, irritability, and anger, which is called premenstrual discomfort. It is generally mild and does not require medical treatment. However, some women have severe premenstrual symptoms that affect their work and daily life, which is called early menstrual syndrome.

2. Premenstrual syndrome usually appears 7 to 14 days before menarche, is at its peak 2 to 3 days before menstruation, and disappears or is significantly relieved after menstruation. Discomfort is present in all aspects and varies from person to person. Some women have very obvious edema, some have more pronounced breast pain, and some mainly have psychiatric symptoms. Sometimes, several types of symptoms coexist, so the levels vary.

3. Edema usually occurs one week before menstruation. Edema may also occur at other times and worsen before menstruation. Because of edema, weight gain. Symptoms associated with edema include headache, runny nose, heaviness in the lower limbs, abdominal distension, constipation, etc. Breast pain can occur before or after menstruation. There are small nodules in the breasts, which are painful to touch. They feel better after menstruation, but the pain returns before the next menstruation.

4. The main symptoms before menstruation are: there are obvious changes in secretions before the menstrual period, and the most obvious symptom is excessive leucorrhea. Before menstruation, the pelvic cavity is congested, the blood volume in the cervix and vagina increases, and therefore the secretions produced are more than usual.

5. When menstruation is approaching, the discharge may be a little light pink, and then slowly turn into blood, which is the menstrual period. After the menstrual period is over, the blood volume in the uterus and vagina returns to normal and the secretions also decrease. In this case, leucorrhea is mostly normal because it is caused by the influence of estrogen. There are also other times when excessive vaginal discharge is normal, such as before intercourse or during pregnancy.
