What should I do if my period is delayed for five days and still hasn't come?

If the menstrual period is delayed by less than a week, it is considered normal and generally does not require intentional treatment. If your period is delayed for more than a week and pregnancy has been ruled out, it is considered irregular menstruation. The main reasons for the delay of menstruation need to be considered: pregnancy, drug factors, mental factors, changes in lifestyle and living environment, the influence of diseases, behavioral habits, etc. What are the reasons for women's menstruation not coming?

1. Pregnancy: How many days of delayed menstruation can detect pregnancy? Generally, you can check whether you are pregnant 7 days after having sex. If a woman of childbearing age has had sex before and her period is delayed for more than a week, you can consider whether she is pregnant. There are many ways to determine whether you are pregnant. The most common one is to use early pregnancy test strips. Of course, using early pregnancy test strips to detect pregnancy is not necessarily accurate. If you want to know accurately whether you are pregnant, going to the hospital for a B-ultrasound examination is a quick way to determine whether you are pregnant.

2. Health condition: Women who suffer from long-term malnutrition will have abnormal menstruation.

3. Uterine disease: Uterine disease is considered to be the most common cause of amenorrhea. Diseases of the uterus itself can cause various abnormal manifestations of menstruation.

4. Mental condition: Missing menstruation may also be related to mental condition. Menstruation is caused by a series of changes in the uterus, ovaries and uterus under the control of the central nervous system. A person's spirit, logical thinking, mentality, etc. all belong to the activities of the cerebral cortex. If the mind is overstimulated and the activity of the cerebral cortex is affected, menstrual disorders will occur.

5. Chronic diseases: Women with severe anemia, severe tuberculosis and diabetes will have abnormal menstruation or even no menstruation.

6. Diseases of the uterus, ovaries and pituitary gland: Damage to the uterus and ovaries or removal due to disease, and pituitary gland tumors can all cause menstrual abnormalities or disappearance.

7. Changes in lifestyle or living environment: Some women like to stay up late, drink cold drinks or eat cold foods, diet too much, etc. This unhealthy lifestyle has a great impact on women's normal menstruation. A regular daily life can keep menstruation regular. In addition, changes in living environment may also affect the arrival of menstruation. For example, colder temperatures may cause menstruation to be delayed.

8. Endocrine: It is mainly due to the imbalance of luteinizing hormone and ovulatory hormone in the uterus and ovaries, which may cause menstrual cramps.

9. Drug factors: Taking emergency contraceptives, weight loss products and other drugs will also affect women's menstruation. Generally, hormone drugs have an impact on women's endocrine system. If they are taken for a long time, it will affect women's normal menstruation and may cause delayed menstruation.

What should I do if I find my period is delayed? Women should maintain a happy and relaxed mood in their daily life and work, and have better habits of daily work and rest. Long-term irregular menstruation has a certain impact on health, so it is necessary to find out the cause of delayed menstruation as soon as possible and take care of it in time.

How to take care of delayed menstruation

1. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine mainly carries out conditioning based on three aspects, the details of which are introduced in detail below:

Liver: To regulate the liver is to make the blood flow smoothly. If a woman's qi chakra is comfortable and the blood flows smoothly, menstruation will not easily stay in the body.

Kidney: Menstrual fluid comes from the kidneys, so if you want to fundamentally solve this problem, you must first take good care of the kidneys. Only by keeping the kidneys functioning can you make menstruation smooth.

Spleen: The key function of the stomach and intestines is to replenish blood and Qi. Strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach can replenish the blood that flows out of the human body.

2. Eat a healthy diet

(1) Eat more protein and high-fiber foods

You can add more meat, beans, eggs and so on to lunch and dinner. These high-protein foods can replenish the nutrients that the human body loses during menstruation. At the same time, you should also eat more vegetables, whole wheat bread, fruits, etc. The rich fiber can increase the content of magnesium, thereby effectively adjusting the chaotic menstrual cycle.

(2) Eat less sweets and caffeine drinks

For example, foods with high sugar content such as candy cubes, chocolate beans, and birthday cakes will cause blood sugar levels in the body to rise, affecting the smoothness of menstrual periods and causing physical discomfort. However, drinks such as strong tea and ground coffee can easily make women restless and unable to calmly welcome the arrival of menstruation. Female friends who like milk tea are advised to switch to barley tea, which has a better effect.

(3) If you have heavy menstruation, it is recommended to eat more high-fiber foods

If your menstruation is often delayed and the bleeding is heavy, it is recommended that you eat more raisins, red dates, broccoli, etc. This kind of food can effectively help you replenish qi and blood and get quick recovery.
