Is it normal for patients to have delayed menstruation?

All women hope to have normal menstruation every month, especially those with a history of sex without contraception. They worry about delayed menstruation, which is an early symptom of pregnancy. Some women have irregular menstruation and irregular menstruation. In severe cases, the menstruation may come once a quarter. So is it normal for the patient to have delayed menstruation? This depends on how long the patient's menstruation is delayed. According to analysis, a seven-day interval before and after menstruation is normal. If the time is too long, it is abnormal.

A woman's normal menstrual cycle consists of four parts: the follicular phase, ovulation phase, luteal phase, and menstruation phase. Although taking hormones can delay menstruation, it may also disrupt the body's endocrine patterns, cause endocrine disorders, affect ovulation, and cause irregular menstruation. Delayed menstruation usually has a heavy flow, is continuous, and lasts a long time, which is also harmful to the body. Frequent use of drugs to change the cycle can lead to menstrual disorders. For unmarried women, especially some female students, delaying menstruation by taking birth control pills may cause reduced menstrual flow or even amenorrhea, which is very harmful. Therefore, if there are special circumstances and you need to use medication to delay menstruation, you should do so under the guidance of a hospital gynecologist. You must not buy medicine at a pharmacy and take it at will. If side effects occur after taking the medicine, please go to the hospital immediately. In addition, eating supplements such as longan and donkey-hide gelatin before menstruation may slightly delay the menstrual period, causing abdominal bloating and pain, and reduced menstrual flow. Therefore, it is best for women not to eat these foods before menstruation.

The normal menstrual cycle is 25 to 30 days. It is normal if it is earlier or later than a week. However, some women's menstrual cycle may be delayed to two months or even longer, such as one quarter, which is medically called "quarters". Even so, it does not mean that you are less healthy than others. If the estrogen level in your body is normal and ovulation is normal (normally the left or right ovary releases an egg 12 days before the next menstruation), then this will not affect normal fertility and is a normal physiological phenomenon.

But if the time is delayed too long, it will have a certain impact on pregnancy. Delayed menstruation is often a common phenomenon among women. If it happens occasionally, of course, you don’t have to mind it. But if it happens frequently, you should check the cause, because delayed menstruation is often a precursor to disease and should be taken seriously. The most common clinical condition is polycystic ovary syndrome. If you have obesity, hirsutism, acne, infertility, etc., you should have an endocrine check. Once any abnormality is found, you should seek treatment as soon as possible. If you suddenly experience excessive mental stress, grief, sadness, anger, heartbreak and other abnormal emotions, it will often lead to delayed menstruation. In such cases, the patient often suffers from breast pain, irritability, depression and discomfort.

Delayed menstruation sometimes causes pelvic congestion during menstruation, which can cause soreness and heaviness in the lumbar region. About half of young women experience dysmenorrhea during menstruation. It is also usually accompanied by headaches, low blood pressure, pale complexion, cold sweats and infertility, so it should be treated actively.

Pelvic inflammatory disease actually has a certain impact on menstruation, but the impact on menstruation mainly depends on the severity of pelvic inflammatory disease. Different degrees of pelvic inflammatory disease have different impacts on menstruation. For example, if you suffer from chronic endometritis, the long-term stimulation of inflammation affects the exfoliation, regeneration and repair of the endometrium, as well as the contraction of uterine blood vessels, leading to irregular menstrual cycles, excessive menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual bleeding or irregular vaginal bleeding.

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease includes chronic endometritis, chronic salpingo-oophoritis, chronic pelvic peritonitis and chronic pelvic connective tissue inflammation. Whether several inflammations exist at the same time or alone, they can cause menstrual disorders.

Is it normal for patients to have their periods delayed? Whether the delay is normal depends on the specific time. A delay within a week is normal, but a delay exceeding the time is abnormal. Patients should consider whether they are pregnant. If they are not pregnant, they should undergo corresponding examinations, including leucorrhea examination, endocrine examination, etc. If no problems are found, six hormone tests can be done. After multiple examinations, the cause of the delay can be discovered, so that reasonable and effective treatment can be taken.
