Why is my period always delayed?

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon that every woman has every month. Women with a relatively regular menstrual cycle come on time every month, but there are also many women whose menstrual cycles are irregular, either coming early or late. So, what does it mean if menstruation is always delayed? What are the reasons for delayed menstruation?

What are the reasons for delayed menstruation?

Most of the reasons for delayed menstruation are closely related to women's daily lifestyle. Some women have a fast pace of life and no regularity, so it is very easy for menstruation to be delayed. If a woman's mental state is usually unstable and she is often tense and stressed, it will also cause delayed menstruation. In this case, it is recommended that women relax more and release the stress.

Excessive weight loss can also cause menstruation to be delayed. Excessive weight loss will make women's bodies extremely lack of certain nutrients, causing the body fat rate to decrease rapidly. However, when body fat is too low, it will cause menstrual problems, such as small amount, delayed menstruation, etc. If you take weight loss drugs, it will also affect your menstrual period.

In addition, abnormalities in thyroid hormone can cause delayed menstruation, and a lack of vitamin E can also cause irregular menstruation. Women should eat more products containing vitamin E, such as walnuts, white sesame seeds, etc. And you should maintain a happy mood, don't put too much pressure on yourself, and don't blindly follow the trend of excessive weight loss. Appropriate weight loss will not easily affect the body.

Endocrine imbalance after long-term use of emergency contraception can also lead to delayed menstruation. Doctors also found based on patient symptoms that a new generation of gastrokinetic drug, metoclopramide, also known as domperidone, may also cause the disease. Because metoclopramide does not easily pass through the blood-brain barrier, it is believed to have no inhibitory effect on central nervous system dopamine receptors. The dopamine receptors in the nerve center are inhibited, resulting in a small amount of factors released by the hypothalamus-pituitary gland entering the anterior pituitary gland. Therefore, the secretion of gonadotropin and corticosteroids by the anterior pituitary gland decreases, causing amenorrhea and delayed ovulation.
