Reasons for delayed menstruation for girls

Menstruation is something women experience every month. Since every woman's physical constitution is different, the symptoms that occur when women have their periods will also be different. However, many women will experience delayed menstruation. There are many reasons that can cause delayed menstruation. For the sake of their own health, women must pay attention when their menstruation is delayed.

Reason 1: Pregnancy causes delayed menstruation

For women of childbearing age who have had sexual life, when their menstruation is delayed, they often doubt whether it is menstruation abnormality or they are pregnant. This problem is a very common phenomenon in daily life.

First, determine whether you are pregnant. If your menstrual cycle has always been normal, with no signs of delay, and there are some signs of pregnancy, you should test your urine with an early pregnancy test strip on the fifth day after your delayed period (or the fifth day calculated from the start of your period). If the test result is positive, you should undergo a gynecological pelvic examination. If the cervix changes to purple-blue, the uterus is full or enlarged, and there may be accompanying symptoms such as breast tenderness and nausea, you can be diagnosed with pregnancy.

Reason 2: Endocrine disorders lead to delayed menstruation

Endocrine reasons such as polycystic ovary syndrome and premature ovarian failure can also lead to delayed menstruation. Timely examination should be carried out and treatment should be started as soon as abnormalities are found.

Reason 3: Excessive weight loss leads to delayed menstruation

In order to control their weight, many women take weight loss drugs or go on an excessive diet, which leads to delayed menstruation. If this situation is short-lived, the normal menstrual cycle can be restored naturally. However, for those who persist for a long time, medication is often required to restore the normal menstrual cycle.

Reason 4: Chronic diseases cause delayed menstruation

Some common chronic diseases such as chronic hepatitis, tuberculosis, tumors, hypothyroidism, etc. often lead to delayed menstruation due to nutritional deficiencies.

Reason 5: Cervical adhesion leads to delayed menstruation

There is menstrual blood, but the menstrual blood cannot be discharged normally due to adhesion of the cervix and accumulates in the uterus. The patient will have periodic abdominal pain. B-ultrasound examination can show dark areas in the uterine cavity, and the patient often needs to go to the hospital for cervical dilation. If this situation is not improved in time, it will lead to endometriosis.
