Reasons why menstruation has not come for 7 days

1. Pregnancy

For married women who have had sexual life, when their menstruation is delayed, they often doubt themselves whether their menstruation is abnormal or they are pregnant. This problem is a very common phenomenon 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 a pregnancy test strip to test your urine on the fifth day after your period is delayed. If it is positive, you should cooperate with a gynecological pelvic examination. If the cervix changes to blue-purple, the uterus is round or enlarged, and there may be breast pain, nausea and other accompanying symptoms, pregnancy can be diagnosed. Of course, B-ultrasound can also quickly determine whether you are pregnant.

2. Side effects of therapeutic drugs

Endocrine imbalance after long-term use of emergency contraception can also lead to delayed menstruation. The dopamine receptors in the nerve center are inhibited, resulting in a small amount of hypothalamic pituitary release factors entering the anterior pituitary. Therefore, the secretion of gonadotropin and corticosteroids by the anterior pituitary decreases, causing amenorrhea and delayed ovulation.

3. Surgery

The menstrual period after artificial abortion or medical abortion is determined by the degree of repair of the uterine wall, which can greatly lead to delayed menstruation. The duration of menstruation after abortion will vary depending on the number of days of pregnancy and the individual's physical condition. Generally speaking, a second menstrual cycle will follow after an abortion in the early stages of pregnancy. In many cases, due to changes in the body's hormones caused by an abortion, the ovulation period may be delayed, and the menstrual period may also be postponed. Therefore, there may be no menstruation for one or several months after an abortion. If your period is delayed for more than 7 to 10 days, it is best to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up.

4. Others

Such as psychological disorders such as tension and anxiety, too much pressure, changes in the natural environment, and some diseases that affect the endocrine system. Can cause delayed menstruation.
