Why is my aunt so late?

Menstruation is a normal menstrual cycle for women, but sometimes this normal menstrual cycle may also have problems. For example, some women may have delayed menstrual bleeding and dark red blood. Long-term vaginal bleeding makes women very distressed. In fact, delayed menstruation is a common disease condition among women. So what is the reason for delayed menstruation?

1. Endometriosis

This is often due to the impact of the contraction of the uterine muscle layer or the thickening of the endometrium, resulting in excessive menstrual cycles or prolonged menstruation. Insertion of an IUD can also cause prolonged menstruation.

2. Uterine leiomyoma

Especially uterine and cervical fibroids, due to the expansion of the total area of ​​the uterine body, it causes abnormal contraction, which can lead to excessive menstrual cycles and prolonged menstruation.

3. Bleeding due to imbalance of uterine function

For example, anovulation, male sexual dysfunction, abnormal uterine bleeding and irregular uterine wall shedding are all caused by endocrine function problems, resulting in prolonged menstruation.

4. Chronic uterine hypertrophy

Due to pelvic congestion, the estrogen level of the uterus and ovaries continues to increase, causing hypertrophy of the uterine muscle layer, resulting in prolonged physiological cycles and prolonged menstruation. Gynecological inflammations such as pelvic inflammation, uterine polyps, and uterine inflammation can also cause long menstrual periods and heavy menstrual flow.

5. Abnormalities of the uterus and ovaries

Irregular menstruation due to congenital hypoplasia of the uterus and ovaries, abnormalities of the ovaries, or secondary sexual diseases, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian cysts, uterine and ovarian tumors, etc., which affect the menstrual period due to changes in growth hormone.

Another is severe pelvic infection, which can also cause serious damage to the uterine and ovarian tissues on both sides, thereby affecting the menstrual period and even causing permanent amenorrhea, among which tuberculosis is the most common.

Frequently asked questions about menstrual period:

1. It is not suitable to have sexual intercourse: During menstruation, the endometrium of the uterus is shed and the surface is injured. If sexual intercourse occurs, it is easy to introduce bacteria, causing them to go back up and enter the uterus, causing intrauterine infection.

2. Don’t eat too salty food: Too salty food will increase the body’s salt and water retention. Before menstruation, it is easy to have symptoms such as headaches, emotional excitement and irritability.

3. Do not drink strong tea or coffee: these drinks contain high levels of caffeine, which can easily stimulate nerves and cardiovascular system, leading to uncomfortable symptoms such as menstrual pain, prolonged menstruation and menorrhagia.

4. It is not suitable to eat cold fruits and vegetables and drink cold drinks: Eating cold foods will reduce the speed of blood circulation, thereby affecting the contraction of the uterus and the discharge of menstruation, resulting in poor menstrual discharge and causing menstrual pain.

5. It is not suitable to eat seafood: Most seafood is cold, which is called "yang in yin". If you are weak, you should try to avoid eating it. After cold food enters the esophagus, the blood vessels in the stomach and intestines are cold and contracted, which weakens the digestive ability of the stomach and intestines, and causes diarrhea and other conditions. Therefore, it is not suitable for women to eat seafood during menstruation.

6. It is not suitable to take a tub bath or a sitz bath: During menstruation, the cervix is ​​slightly open, and a tub bath or a sitz bath can easily cause waste water to enter the uterine wall and cause inflammation.
