How to delay the onset of menstruation

Generally speaking, it is best not to disrupt the current balance of the human body, but when necessary, we can choose some appropriate methods to achieve the goal, such as delaying menstruation. Menstruation can be artificially delayed, which is easy to cause harm in the long run, but sometimes it can be accepted at once, and you can choose food or medicine, etc. So how to delay the arrival of menstruation?

What causes delayed menstruation?

If a woman wants to postpone her menstruation for a few days due to some special reasons, how to delay her menstruation? It is reasonable to take emergency contraceptives. There are about two kinds of drugs that can cause delayed menstruation, one is emergency contraception, and the other is simple estrogen. The two drugs have similar mechanisms of action, but because "all medicines are poisonous", if women take these drugs repeatedly to change their menstrual cycle, it will affect the normal menstruation in the future, and in serious cases cause infertility.

In fact, menarche is caused by the loss of estrogen and the application of estrogen in the uterine wall. Then, if we continue to artificially supplement female hormones or estrogen, especially estrogen, the uterine wall can be supported again, maintain the level of continued thickening, and the uterine wall can grow firmly on the inner wall of the uterus, the purpose of delaying menstruation can be achieved. Emergency contraception has a buffering effect like this, because the ingredients of emergency contraception are growth hormones, especially estrogen. If female hormones do not decrease, menstruation will not occur easily. However, for the sake of your own health, you should not use drugs to delay or advance your menstruation.

Reasons for delayed menstruation

1. Pregnancy:

For pregnant women who have had sexual life, when their menstruation is delayed, they often doubt themselves whether their menstruation is abnormal or they are already pregnant. This problem is a very common situation in daily life. How to rule out pregnancy and how to determine whether it is a menstrual disease is the first question to be determined. First, make sure you are pregnant. If the menstrual cycle has been normal, there has never been a sign of delay, and there are some symptoms of pregnancy, you should use an early pregnancy test strip to test your urine on the fifth day after the delay of your period (you can also calculate the fifth day from the beginning of your period). If it is positive, you should cooperate with a gynecological pelvic examination; if the cervix shows blue-purple changes, the uterus is round or enlarged, and there may be breast pain, nausea and other accompanying symptoms, you can be diagnosed with pregnancy. Of course, B-ultrasound can also quickly determine whether you are pregnant.

2. Side effects of drugs

Endocrine imbalance after long-term use of emergency contraception can also lead to delayed menstruation. Doctors also found based on patient symptoms that a new generation of gastrokinetic drug, metoclopramide, also known as domperidone, may also cause the disease. Because metoclopramide does not easily pass through the blood-brain barrier, it is believed to have no inhibitory effect on central nervous system dopamine receptors. The dopamine receptors in the nerve center are inhibited, resulting in a small amount of factors released by the hypothalamus-pituitary gland entering the anterior pituitary gland. Therefore, the secretion of gonadotropin and corticosteroids by the anterior pituitary gland decreases, causing amenorrhea and delayed ovulation.

3. Surgery

(1) The menstrual period after artificial abortion or medical abortion is determined by the degree of repair of the uterine wall, which may cause delayed menstruation to a large extent.

(2) Intrauterine surgical treatment causes cervical adhesions, leading to menstrual blood stasis, which in turn delays menstruation.

4. Excessive daily life

According to scientific research, severe cold stimulation during women's menstrual period will cause the blood vessels in the pelvis to contract excessively, which can lead to oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea. Therefore, women need to have a regular daily life to avoid excessive fatigue, especially during the menstrual period to avoid cold and moisture.

5. Abnormal mentality

Long-term mental depression, anger or severe mental stimulation and psychological trauma can all cause menstrual disorders or dysmenorrhea or amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is produced after the hormone secreted by the uterus and ovaries stimulates the uterine wall. The hormone secreted by the uterus and ovaries is controlled by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland and the hormone released by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Therefore, whether it is the function of the uterus and ovaries, the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, or the hypothalamus, it will affect the menstruation.

6. Excessive dieting to lose weight

Relevant expert studies have shown that the body fat of a young girl must be at least 17% of her body weight for her menarche to occur, and the body fat must be at least 22% of her body weight to maintain a normal menstrual cycle. Excessive dieting to lose weight will cause the body to lose a lot of body fat and protein due to insufficient energy intake, resulting in obstruction of estrogen production and a significant deficiency, affecting menarche, and even causing scant menstruation or amenorrhea. Therefore, ladies who pursue a slender figure should not blindly follow the trend of dieting to lose weight.
