Menstruation is delayed by ten days every month

The menstruation of adult women is generally regular, with a cycle of about 28 to 30 days, but some may be delayed by two to three days each month, which is considered normal. But if your period is delayed by ten days every month, you should pay attention, as it may be a symptom of endocrine disorders, which can be confirmed through examination. If not, you can adjust it through traditional Chinese medicine.

Why is it normal to delay menstruation by ten days?

If menstruation is delayed by ten days, whether it is normal depends on the specific situation. It is normal for menstruation to be delayed or advanced by one week. If it is delayed for more than one week, it is considered as endocrine disorder and irregular menstruation. It is recommended that you have a color ultrasound to check whether there are any organic lesions in the uterus and ovaries, and test six hormone items. If there are no organic lesions, you can take Chinese medicine for treatment, or have an artificial cycle.

If your period is delayed for ten days and you have had sexual intercourse, the possibility of pregnancy is relatively high. Go to the gynecology department to test urine hCG and blood hCG to check whether you are pregnant. If pregnancy is ruled out, consider that irregular menstruation, endocrine disorders, abnormal hormone secretion, excessive mental stress, environmental factors, medication, etc. may all be the cause. Go to the gynecology department for a check-up, test six sex hormones, do color Doppler ultrasound, etc. After a clear diagnosis, do not take medication blindly to avoid delaying the disease. It is recommended to take medication under the guidance of a doctor.

If your menstruation is delayed for ten days and you have sexual intercourse during this period, you should first rule out the possibility of pregnancy. In addition, if you are not pregnant, if two consecutive menstrual cycles exceed seven days, it may be caused by irregular menstruation. Irregular menstruation is related to ovarian function, and is related to polycystic ovary, incomplete corpus luteum atrophy, obesity, and ovarian dysfunction. It is recommended that you go to the hospital's gynecology department to do a color ultrasound of the uterine appendages and check your endocrine system. If it is caused by endocrine disorders, you can choose to use some menstruation-regulating drugs for treatment, commonly used ones are Wu Ji Bai Feng Wan, or drugs such as Motherwort. Keep warm, stay in a good mood, and don't stay up late.

Can anemia cause delayed menstruation?

Anemia may cause delayed menstruation because anemia is a clinical syndrome caused by a decrease in the red blood cell volume in the peripheral blood. Because anemia causes insufficient blood and oxygen supply to various systems in the human body, functional disorders may occur. If severe anemia persists for a long time, endocrine disorders may occur, leading to irregular menstruation and even delayed menstruation. In addition to causing gynecological endocrine disorders, anemia may also cause other symptoms, such as pale complexion, dizziness, fatigue, palpitations, chest tightness, tinnitus and blurred vision. Because anemia reduces the blood supply to the limb muscles, the body's ability to exercise will also be affected. When exercising, including climbing stairs or brisk walking, you will feel obvious symptoms of soreness and fatigue in the limbs and need to stop to rest. Therefore, anemia can cause changes in various organs throughout the body and may also lead to delayed menstruation.

Increased menstruation can lead to hemorrhagic anemia, which is iron deficiency anemia, and anemia will lead to a decrease in menstrual volume and irregular menstrual cycles. This is because the human body's blood volume is 4000-5000ml, and the normal hemoglobin value for adult women is 110g/L-150g/L. When moderate anemia occurs, that is, when the hemoglobin reaches below 90g/L, the human body's blood volume decreases significantly, and the amount of menstruation will decrease significantly. At the same time, due to insufficient blood volume, it also affects the endocrine organs, and the brain center that regulates the menstrual cycle is also affected, making the menstrual cycle irregular, or advanced or delayed.
