I have been having stomach pain and not having my period.

Many women experience symptoms before their period, such as chest pain or abdominal tightness and pain, which may be signs of the coming menstruation. However, there are some women who have been experiencing stomach pain for a long time and their menstrual period has not come. So, what should I do if I have stomach pain and my period has not come?

1. Abdominal pain and no menstruation

If pregnancy can be ruled out, a delay of 3-7 days in menstruation is considered normal. If it exceeds seven days, it is recommended to go to the hospital for medical treatment. B-ultrasound can be checked to understand the thickness of the uterine wall. Tension, anxiety, too much pressure, staying up late, changes in living environment, office environment, endocrine system, etc., will have a certain impact on the menstrual period. Eat less spicy food and irritating ingredients to prevent colds and avoid staying up late.

Menstruation being one week early or late is a normal mental factor. Environmental changes, weather stress, anger, staying up late or dieting may cause delayed menstruation. The possibility of cold uterus and gynecological inflammation cannot be ruled out. If you have sex, you should consider the possibility of pregnancy. Get adequate rest, do not engage in strenuous activities, live a regular life, avoid catching cold, keep the genitals clean and hygienic, pay attention to observation, go to the hospital's gynecology department when necessary, do an abdominal ultrasound examination, and take medication. It could be that you are about to have your period, or it could be related to pelvic inflammatory disease, pregnancy, etc. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

2. What causes menstrual pain?

Dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological condition. Many women also experience menstrual pain when they have gynecological diseases. Therefore, women must actively find out the cause when they experience menstrual pain.

1. If the uterus is narrow, it will cause obstruction of menstrual flow and cause menstrual pain. If the uterus is underdeveloped, there will be abnormal blood supply to the uterus, which can easily lead to uterine oxygen deficiency and ischemia, causing menstrual pain.

2. If the position of the uterus is abnormal or the woman's uterus is located extremely far back or bent, it may affect the smooth menstruation and cause menstrual pain. Some neurological factors can make women too sensitive to pain, making them more prone to menstrual pain.

3. Some genetic factors will also appear in the current generation due to menstrual pain in the previous generation. If endocrine factors occur abnormally, menstrual pain may also occur. For example, if the progesterone level in the follicular phase increases, this may occur.

4. The uterine wall also contains relatively high levels of prostaglandins in menstrual blood. Prostaglandins normally cause the uterine muscles to contract, causing menstrual pain. If the content of prostaglandins in the endometrial tissue of a woman with uterine disease is higher than that of a normal woman, she is more likely to experience menstrual pain. If a woman has gynecological diseases, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, etc., they can all cause menstrual pain.
