Do you have delayed menstruation and occasional lower abdominal pain?

If your menstruation is delayed and you have sex, first consider whether you are pregnant. If you are not pregnant, the delayed menstruation may be caused by other reasons. Generally, there are many reasons for abnormal menstruation in women, which may be caused by mood, or by environmental factors. If your menstruation is delayed and you have lower abdominal pain, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. After finding out the cause, you can then receive symptomatic treatment.

Factors that cause delayed menstruation

1. Pregnant. This is the first thing you need to rule out. This possibility is greatest for women of married age who have a normal sex life. You can do an early pregnancy test with a pregnancy test stick about 15 days after your period is delayed. If two red bars appear, it is 99% likely that you are pregnant. If you are unmarried, don't have a boyfriend, and don't have a sex life, you can generally rule out this factor.

2. Acclimation to the local climate and water. This is due to sudden changes in environmental factors. You are from the south and travel to the north for a week, and you find that your period has not arrived on time. This is partly due to the differences in climate and diet between the south and the north, and also has to do with your own adaptability. The south is hot and humid, the north is dry and cold, and coupled with the differences in food culture, it is easy to find yourself feeling unwell.

3. Cold stimulation. The first is that the cold weather causes delayed menstruation, so special attention should be paid to keeping the abdomen warm in the cold winter. The second is that diet causes delayed menstruation, mainly cold food and frozen food, which will cause your uterus to be cold, thus affecting the timely arrival of your menstruation. Therefore, you must avoid eating such foods one week before your period.

4. Diet to lose weight. In order to pursue a slim figure, many women blindly pursue weight loss at any cost. They eat fruit as their main meal and vegetables as their staple food, and do not eat meat or high-fat foods. If this continues for a long time, the body's functions will be damaged due to insufficient nutrition, affecting the body's endocrine function, causing delayed menstruation or even amenorrhea. The idea that dieting can help you lose weight is unscientific. Like me, I can eat and sleep well and still stay slim.

5. Interference from tobacco and alcohol. I believe that some women also have a certain preference for tobacco and alcohol. Whether you do it voluntarily or are forced, please always remember to know when to stop. The nicotine in tobacco and the alcohol in wine may cause your endocrine system to become disrupted. This way, your menstrual period will also be disturbed.

6. Staying up late too late will reverse your day and night. Some young women, due to their youthful vigor, are keen on nightlife such as clubbing, karaoke, etc. Some even go out to play at night and fall asleep at home during the day. This will completely change your biological clock by reversing your day and night, and will affect your body's hormones and endocrine system. Not only will you be more likely to get acne, but it will also cause menstrual disorders and delay the arrival of your period. Therefore, women must manage their life patterns and work and rest schedules well, and try to avoid working day and night.

7. Side effects caused by drugs. There are many drugs that can cause delayed menstruation, and birth control pills are one of them. If you take birth control pills for a long time, your body's hormones will be affected, and your menstruation may be delayed or even amenorrhea may occur. If you want to prevent pregnancy, please choose condoms, which are safer. Remember to avoid taking pills a week before and during your period.

8. Gynecological diseases. Many gynecological diseases such as cervical erosion, abnormal leucorrhea, vaginal bacterial infection, etc. can cause irregular menstruation. Therefore, women who are sick must go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. Only by curing your gynecological disease can irregular menstruation and delayed menstruation be improved. Women with gynecological diseases have their menstruation affected and their chances of getting pregnant are relatively low!

9. Surgical factors. If you had an induced abortion, abortion, curettage or other surgery not long ago, you must consider these reasons. They directly or indirectly affect your menstrual function and cause your menstrual period to be delayed. Women who have undergone surgery should pay attention to whether there is any infection in the later stage, and take good care of their bodies so that menstruation can return to normal.
