Why is my period late for ten days?

Many female friends pay close attention to the time of their menstruation every month, but even when it is time for their period to come, it is still late. This can easily make people anxious. In fact, you should know that menstruation will not fail to come for no reason, and if it does not come, there will always be some reasons. Let me introduce below, what is the reason why menstruation is ten days late? See which situation everyone belongs to.

1. Drug effects

Certain drugs can affect women's normal cycles, such as the well-known emergency contraceptive pills. Compared with general contraceptives, its side effects are stronger, such as lower abdominal distension, unbearable headaches, gastrointestinal discomfort, lower body bleeding, etc. If this medicine is used for a long time, the menstrual cycle will become more and more irregular, and delayed menstruation will often occur.

In addition, the representative stomach medicine - Metoclopramide will also interfere with the normal cycle. It will suppress the central dopamine receptors, directly leading to delayed ovulation in women and even causing stagnation of menstruation.

2. Pregnancy causes

For women who have had intimate relations, if their menstruation is late, they should first consider whether it is due to pregnancy. Of course, the possibility of gynecological diseases is not ruled out, so the method of identification is particularly important.

If your menstrual period has always been regular, but it is delayed this time, and your taste has changed, you always need to go to the toilet, and you feel nauseous and want to vomit, it is recommended that you buy a pregnancy test stick for testing. Generally, you can do the test about 7 days after your period is delayed. If the result is negative, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a gynecological check-up. If the result is positive, you are most likely pregnant and it is best to go to the hospital to get a more accurate result.

3. Emotional Effect

Abnormal emotions can also have a negative impact on women's regular menstruation. This is because menstruation is controlled by the hypothalamus. If a woman's emotions fluctuate, it will inevitably affect the function of the hypothalamus and cause unexplained delays in menstruation. Common negative emotions include anger, sadness, shock, endless grief, etc. In addition, white-collar women often have their menstruation affected due to work pressure and high mental tension.

The above introduces three situations that cause amenorrhea. It is recommended that you check your actual situation. If none of the above reasons apply, it is recommended that you go to the hospital to see a gynecologist to check what the cause is.
