Reasons for delayed menstruation for 3 months

Delayed menstruation is very common among many female friends, and some women even have their menstruation delayed for 3 months. The cause of delayed menstruation may be endocrine disorders caused by excessive life or psychological pressure. Therefore, female friends need to pay attention to adjusting their own lives and habits, and be careful not to put too much pressure on themselves. If the menstruation is not delayed for a long time, you need to consider whether you are pregnant.

1. Reasons for delayed menstruation for 3 months

Endocrine disorders caused by excessive stress and long-term stress will inhibit the function of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, causing the ovaries to no longer secrete female hormones and ovulate, resulting in menstrual disorders. At the same time, long-term psychological depression, sulking, or bad mood will affect menstruation and cause amenorrhea. In addition, dieting to lose weight will also affect the secretion of estrogen in the body, which will also delay menstruation or even cause no menstruation. The side effects of drugs can also lead to amenorrhea. For example, taking inappropriate contraceptives can cause endocrine disorders and delayed menstruation. If you have had sexual intercourse recently and your period is later than usual, you should consider whether you are pregnant. You can use an early pregnancy test.
