Delayed menstruation does not cause aging

Women have menstruation every month. The menstrual cycle should be about 28 days, and each menstruation lasts about three to seven days. If it is not within this range, the menstruation is abnormal. Some people will have menstruation early, and some people will usually have delayed menstruation. Some people think that people who often have delayed menstruation are less likely to age and have more advantages than others. So is this statement correct?

Are there really "advantages" to delayed menstruation?

Assuming that ovulation and menstruation are normal, and that about 400 eggs are released in a lifetime, and that estrogen levels are also normal, then if menstruation can be delayed by 7 days a month, the aging time can be delayed by nearly 10 years in a lifetime.

We have already analyzed that as long as the estrogen level in the body remains normal and the ovarian function is normal, then a longer menstrual cycle will not cause any harm to the body, which seems to make sense.

But please note that a sudden delay in menstruation is often caused by changes in the body's hormone levels, which may be caused by certain health problems in the body. Don't really think that delaying menstruation can delay aging.

Reasons for delayed menstruation

① Pregnancy

The first sign of pregnancy is delayed menstruation. Generally, if menstruation is delayed for more than a week, you need to consider whether you are pregnant. In order to know accurately whether you are pregnant, you can go to the hospital for a blood HCG test.

③Psychological factors

Delayed menstruation is mostly related to mental stress. Too much mental stress. If a woman is too mentally stressed or has too much work pressure, it may lead to delayed menstruation, dysmenorrhea, or even amenorrhea.
