Will losing weight cause delayed menstruation?

Women naturally want to have a good and graceful figure, which makes other women envious and men crazy. However, in order to lose weight, using various methods will lead to delayed menstruation and cause physical problems, which is not worth the loss. It is better to lose weight normally. Menstruation is the day for women to detoxify every month. Delayed menstruation is a sign of problems with the body's metabolism. If you love your figure, you should also enjoy a healthy body instead of losing weight through extreme means. Many women regard weight loss as a lifelong "career". In fact, improper or excessive weight loss will lead to delayed menstruation.

Experts point out that not only excessive weight loss can affect delayed menstruation, but there are many other reasons that can cause delayed menstruation.

1. Drugs cause delayed menstruation

Some medications have side effects that can delay your period. For example, birth control pills, the gastrokinetic drug metoclopramide, drugs for treating hyperthyroidism, the Chinese medicine tripterygium wilfordii glycosides, etc.

2. Disease causes delayed menstruation

Ovarian dysfunction can lead to delayed menstruation. Some other chronic wasting diseases often lead to delayed menstruation due to nutritional deficiencies. Common ones include chronic hepatitis, tuberculosis, tumors, hypothyroidism, severe iron deficiency anemia, aplastic anemia, etc., which often cause delayed menstruation.

3. Mental factors cause delayed menstruation

Excessive mental stress, abnormal emotions such as grief, sadness, irritation, and heartbreak often lead to delayed menstruation, and may be accompanied by breast pain, chest tightness, and irritability.

Experts remind that menstruation is monthly, and few women can have their period on the same day every month, but it is generally normal if it is earlier or later than 7 days (including 7 days). When menstruation is delayed for more than 2 weeks and pregnancy is confirmed, it should be considered as irregular menstruation.

The best way for women to lose weight is through good eating habits and exercise, rather than taking hormones or other drugs, which puts a burden and harm on the body. The love of beauty is a woman's nature. Having a good figure also requires a good body to match it. I hope all girls can understand this simple truth. I wish all girls in the world success in losing weight and having a good figure.
