Why is menstruation always delayed?

Why is menstruation always delayed? This is a question many girls often ask themselves. Of course, many girls will mention this issue in their daily conversations. This shows that there are too many girls troubled by this issue in today's society. Moreover, most girls have no idea why their menstruation is always delayed. In fact, this is also a manifestation of laziness.

Because this issue concerns the girls' vital interests, and most girls tend not to take the initiative to seek answers, but sit there passively waiting, and most of the time they will not get the answers. In fact, if you want to know the answer to this question, you have to find it yourself. Here are some reasons why menstruation is always delayed.

There are two main reasons for delayed menstruation: pregnancy and irregular menstruation. Your period is now delayed for 3 days. You can go to the hospital for a check-up. For example, an ultrasound examination can give you a detailed understanding of the situation and find out the specific cause.

The timing of menstruation after abortion will vary depending on the number of days of pregnancy and individual physical condition. Generally speaking, the second menstrual cycle will follow after an early abortion. In many cases, due to the changes in the body's hormones caused by the abortion, ovulation may be delayed, and menstruation may be postponed accordingly. Therefore, there may be no menstruation for one or several months after the abortion. If your period is delayed for more than 7-10 days, it is best to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.

The 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. But if it exceeds this time, women with normal menstruation will definitely be worried. There are four situations:

1. Pregnancy

You can use the "Early Pregnancy Test Strip" to test your urine 7 days after your period is delayed. If the result is positive, you are very likely pregnant. If the result 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.

2. The amplitude of the drug effect

For example, 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.

3. Caused by surgery

For example, intrauterine surgery may cause cervical adhesions, which may lead to menstrual blood stasis and thus delay menstruation.

4. Others

Such as psychological factors such as mental tension, stress, environmental changes, and some diseases that affect endocrine system. Can cause delayed menstruation.

Expert tip: If menstruation is delayed only 1-2 times occasionally and there are no other accompanying symptoms, it does not fall into the category of menstrual disorders. When the interval between menstrual cycles is more than 35 days, it is called oligomenorrhea, and when menstruation stops for more than 3 menstrual cycles, it is called amenorrhea. The absence of ovulation after menopause can also lead to problems such as osteoporosis and endometrial hyperplasia, which must be taken seriously. You should go to the hospital immediately for a comprehensive examination.

Therefore, through the detailed introduction above, it is not difficult to find that there are actually many reasons why girls’ menstruation is always delayed. Therefore, in the future life, if our female friends encounter this problem again, it is best to prescribe the right medicine, so that we can find out the cause and quickly restore the original condition.
