Why is the menstrual period delayed by 12 days?

If some women have abnormal physical phenomena, they need to pay attention to timely examination to ensure their health, especially if some female patients have delayed menstruation, they need to pay attention to take corresponding examination methods in time. So why is the menstruation delayed by 12 days? Let me introduce it to you below.

1. IUD Factors

Women who have an IUD placed are also more likely to have their menstrual period delayed, which will affect the contraction of the uterine muscle layer and the thickening of the endometrium, thereby causing symptoms such as excessive menstruation and delayed menstruation.

2. Caused by uterine dysfunction

If a woman experiences irregular endometrial shedding or anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding, it will cause endocrine dysfunction and lead to delayed menstruation.

3. Blood diseases can cause delayed menstruation

Patients with blood diseases have fragile blood vessel walls and increased permeability, which cause bleeding. Among the blood diseases, there are thrombocytopenic purpura and aplastic anemia. Therefore, the symptoms of delayed menstruation must not be ignored.

4. Uterine fibroids cause delayed menstruation

Uterine fibroids are serious gynecological diseases in women, especially submucosal uterine fibroids, which can cause many hazards. Due to the enlargement of the uterine cavity area and abnormal contraction, they can cause excessive menstruation and delayed menstruation.

5. Chronic uterine hypertrophy

Female patients with chronic uterine hypertrophy have pelvic congestion, which leads to a continuous increase in ovarian estrogen, thickening of the uterine muscle layer, and thus causing excessive menstruation, delayed menstruation, etc.

6. Gynecological inflammation

Women with gynecological inflammations such as pelvic inflammatory disease and endometritis may suffer from excessive menstruation and delayed menstruation due to poor blood circulation in the uterus, degeneration and necrosis, or pelvic congestion. It is a common cause of delayed menstruation.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If a female patient’s menstruation is delayed, it is necessary to pay attention to whether she is pregnant or suffering from a disease. In particular, attention should be paid to preventing gynecological diseases and timely treatment. Finally, I wish the patient a speedy recovery.
