I haven't had my period for almost a month.

After a woman has fully developed, she will have her period every month. Every woman loves and hates her period. If her period does not come on the due date, she will feel restless. If it does come, she may experience symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and feel uncomfortable during her period. Some women have very regular menstrual discomfort, which is often delayed or advanced. Some women find that they have not had their menstrual period for almost a month. Is this normal?

The normal menstrual cycle of women is about 28 days. If the menstrual cycle is always delayed by more than 7 days, or even no menstruation for a month, it is called delayed menstruation. Because every woman's physical condition is different, the menstrual cycle will also be different. Even women with relatively normal cycles may occasionally have an error of a few days in advance or delay. Generally, 3-5 days are within the range, or it may be delayed once in a while. There is no need to worry too much about these situations. But if someone asks, is it normal to delay menstruation by one month, the doctor will give a negative answer. Frequent delays in menstruation are a manifestation of menstrual irregularity, and a delay of one month is even more abnormal.

Second, the reasons for the delay of menstruation for one month include the following situations

1. Abnormal secretion: The most common clinical condition is polycystic ovary syndrome. If you have obesity, hirsutism, infertility, etc., you should have an endocrine check. Once any abnormality is discovered, it should be treated as soon as possible.

2. Delayed menstruation caused by mental factors: If you suddenly experience abnormal emotions such as excessive mental stress, grief, sadness, anger, and heartbreak, it will often lead to delayed menstruation. Therefore, we should learn to self-regulate in daily life and try to maintain a happy mood, which is conducive to maintaining normal menstruation.

3. Delayed menstruation caused by taking certain drugs: Some women use drugs to lose weight, which may cause some side effects and endocrine disorders, and ultimately lead to irregular menstruation. Contraceptive pills are also a type of drug that can affect normal menstruation. You should try to avoid taking these drugs or strictly control the dosage.

4. Chronic diseases lead to delayed menstruation: Some chronic wasting diseases often lead to delayed menstruation due to nutritional deficiencies. The primary disease should be treated as soon as possible. Menstruation will resume naturally after the primary disease is cured. ...
