The reason why my period was delayed for half a month

Period, which we often call the female physiological cycle, is the menstrual period that every female friend encounters every month. For most female friends, they can roughly calculate when their menstrual period will come, because menstruation is a regular physiological cycle. However, many female friends have this trouble, that is, their menstruation does not come on time, or even comes delayed for half a month. What is the reason? Next, I will give you a detailed introduction to why menstruation is delayed by ten days.

(1) Irregular living habits According to research, when women are exposed to cold during menstruation, the blood vessels in the pelvis will contract excessively, which can cause oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea. Therefore, women should have a regular daily life, avoid excessive fatigue, and especially keep away from cold and damp during menstruation.

(2) Abnormal emotions: Long-term mental depression, sulking, or severe mental stimulation and psychological trauma can all lead to menstrual disorders or dysmenorrhea or amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is caused by the stimulation of the endometrium by hormones secreted by the ovaries, and the hormones secreted by the ovaries are controlled by the release of hormones from the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Therefore, any abnormality in the function of the ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus will affect menstruation.

(3) Excessive dieting: Expert studies have shown that girls need body fat to account for at least 17% of their body weight in order to have their first menstruation, and body fat must reach at least 22% of their body weight to maintain a normal menstrual cycle. Excessive dieting will cause a large amount of fat and protein in the body to be consumed due to insufficient energy intake, resulting in estrogen synthesis disorders and obvious estrogen deficiency, affecting menstruation, or even causing scanty menstruation or amenorrhea. Therefore, women who pursue a slim figure must not diet blindly.

In the above text, we have introduced to female friends why menstruation is sometimes delayed for half a month. These reasons include problems with our living habits, work pressure, and diet. All these reasons may cause our menstruation to be late. The most prominent one is that many women blindly pursue weight loss, resulting in severe underweight, which leads to delayed menstruation or even cessation of menstruation. Therefore, I hope you will pay attention to this.
