Reasons why women's menstruation is delayed

I believe that many female friends have various menstrual problems, such as dysmenorrhea, delayed or postponed menstruation, scanty menstruation, blood clots and so on. Many women have experienced delayed menstruation. At this time, they can't help but worry and fear, not knowing whether it is pregnancy or gynecological disease. Menstruation is an indicator of women's physical health. So, what is the reason why women's menstruation is delayed?

About once a month, the endometrium of women of childbearing age undergoes cyclical changes including autonomous thickening, blood vessel proliferation, glandular growth and secretion, and endometrial collapse and shedding accompanied by bleeding. This periodic vaginal discharge or uterine bleeding is called menstruation. If your period is delayed, you should consider the following points

1: You can test urine HCG 7 days after your period is delayed. If it is positive, you are likely pregnant, and vice versa. If you are pregnant, you may also have other symptoms such as nausea, breast tenderness, etc.

2: Side effects of drug stimulation. Endocrine disorders after long-term use of contraceptives can also cause delayed menstruation

3. Changes in hormones after abortion: This may cause ovulation to be delayed, and menstruation to be postponed as well.

4. Caused by surgery, such as uterine surgery causing cervical adhesions and blood stasis, thus delaying menstruation

5. Caused by stress, psychological factors such as mental tension, stress, environmental changes, and some diseases that affect the endocrine system.

6. Premature ovarian failure: It is caused by abnormal ovarian function. It often manifests as delayed menstruation, infrequent menstruation, amenorrhea and infertility. It may also cause vaginal dryness, dyspareunia, hot flashes and insomnia, and other symptoms similar to menopause.

A woman's menstrual cycle is generally 28 to 30 days. About 7 days earlier or later is still within the normal range, and the length of the cycle varies from person to person. However, if menstruation is delayed, it is best to go to the hospital to check and understand the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Maintaining a good attitude and reducing stress appropriately can also be very helpful for delayed menstruation.
