I haven't had my period for a month after I was weaned. What's going on?

It is normal for menstruation to be delayed or early. Generally, delays within a week are considered normal. If the menstruation is delayed for a long time, we should have a physical examination. If there are no signs of pregnancy, it means that there is a problem with the uterus and it needs timely treatment and recuperation. So what should I do if my period hasn’t come after 42 days? Let’s take a look together.

What if my period hasn't come for 42 days?

1. Pregnancy. After a woman becomes pregnant, her menstrual period will stop. This is also the earliest sign of pregnancy. It should be when the menstrual period comes, but it does not come. There are also changes in appetite, frequent nausea, vomiting, and frequent urination. Such conditions all occur after sexual intercourse. We can use early pregnancy test strips, blood cell tests, B-ultrasound tests, etc. to check whether we are pregnant. The delay of menstruation in this case is normal.

2. Endocrine abnormalities. Menstruation is often affected by endocrine imbalance. Endocrine imbalance will directly affect whether the menstruation is normal. If you have obesity, excessive hair growth, acne, infertility, etc., you should check your endocrine system. Once abnormalities are found, you should seek treatment as soon as possible. In addition, ovarian aging can also cause delayed menstruation. Mental factors, abnormal emotions such as tension, anxiety, sadness, anger, etc. will also affect the endocrine system, thereby causing delayed menstruation; excessive weight loss, due to obesity, women have to lose weight through dieting, which can easily lead to malnutrition, thereby affecting menstruation.

3. Taking some medicines. Some medicines have certain side effects. If women take them frequently and ignore their adverse effects, it will cause delayed menstruation. For example, long-term use of emergency contraception, taking birth control pills, gastrointestinal motility drugs such as metoclopramide, and drugs for treating hyperthyroidism. There are also some diseases that affect delayed menstruation, such as chronic hepatitis, tuberculosis, hypothyroidism, severe iron deficiency anemia, etc. Only by treating the underlying disease can the problem of delayed menstruation be solved.

4. Caused by surgical treatment. Women's multiple artificial abortions or medical abortions have a great impact, because the menstrual period is determined by the repair state of the uterine wall, and surgery will cause certain damage to the uterine wall, so it is very likely to cause delayed menstruation.
