What's wrong with my period not coming for a long time?

Menstruation is a love-hate thing for women. They love it because it comes on time, which makes them feel relieved and proves that their menstrual period is normal. But they hate it because women tend to become irritable and angry during their menstrual period. There are a few days every month that are very "troublesome". There is also a worse situation - delayed menstruation, which can also make women crazy. There are many reasons for delayed menstruation. Let's talk about them below:

1. The effects of drugs, such as endocrine disorders after long-term use of contraceptives, can also cause delayed menstruation. Doctors also found, based on patient feedback, that a new generation of gastrokinetic drug, metoclopramide, also known as domperidone, may also cause this condition. Since metoclopramide does not easily cross the blood-brain barrier, it is believed that it has no inhibitory effect on central dopamine receptors. Central dopamine receptors are inhibited, resulting in a decrease in the amount of hypothalamic release factors entering the anterior pituitary. As a result, the anterior pituitary secretes less gonadotropin and corticotropin, leading to amenorrhea and delayed ovulation.

2. Pregnancy can be detected 7 days after the menstruation is delayed. You can use the "Early Pregnancy Test Strip" to test urine. If the result is positive, you are very likely to be pregnant. If the "Early Pregnancy Test Strip" is negative, then vice versa. But if you are pregnant, there will be other symptoms such as nausea, breast tenderness, etc. Of course, the last resort is to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination.

3. Psychological factors such as mental tension, stress, environmental changes, and some diseases that affect the endocrine system may cause the patient's menstruation to be delayed.

4. Surgery such as intrauterine surgery may cause cervical adhesions, resulting in menstrual blood stasis, thus delaying menstruation.

The above are the reasons for delayed menstruation. When menstruation is delayed, female friends should not be overly anxious. They can go to a movie or chat with friends to relax. If menstruation is delayed for more than half a month, it may be caused by medication or surgical sequelae, and you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
