What are the reasons for my girlfriend's delayed menstruation and related examinations?

Menstruation is a manifestation of the physiological cycle of normal adult female friends, which usually lasts about one month. It is normal to have menstruation a week before or after the cycle. Different women have different menstrual cycles due to different periods of egg maturation. If menstruation is delayed for a long time, it is an abnormal phenomenon. The cause of the delay should be found in time and corresponding measures should be taken. So, what are the reasons for delayed menstruation? What kind of examinations and treatments should be done for delayed menstruation due to different reasons? Here is an introduction for everyone:

Causes

1. Pregnancy

After the menstruation is delayed for 10 days, you can go to the hospital for a urine pregnancy test. If the result is positive, you are very likely pregnant. Pregnancy may also have other symptoms, such as chills, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, etc.

2. Side effects of medication

Long-term use of contraceptives can cause endocrine disorders and delay menstruation. Newer generation gastrokinetic drugs may also cause this.

3. Caused by surgery

For example, intrauterine surgery may cause cervical adhesions, which may lead to menstrual blood stasis and delay menstruation.

4. Others

Psychological factors such as mental tension, stress, environmental changes, etc. can cause delayed menstruation.

It is normal to find that menstruation is delayed by about a week. If you have sex, use condoms for contraception, and the condoms do not break or leak fluid, the possibility of pregnancy is low. The self-test rate of early pregnancy test strips is also low. It is recommended that you observe closely. If your menstruation is delayed for about 10 days, you can go to the hospital for a blood HCG test to confirm whether you are pregnant.

Diagnosis 1. Ask in detail about past medical history, recent surgical history, and medication history.

2. Make a diagnosis based on laboratory test results.

Treatment should first eliminate external factors that affect menstruation. You can observe for a period of time. You should have a regular daily life, pay more attention to rest, avoid excessive fatigue, and especially keep warm and avoid moisture during menstruation. Prevent excessive dieting, quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Pay attention to your diet structure, eat more lean meat, cereals, green leafy vegetables and calcium-rich foods, and avoid overeating raw and cold foods. Keep a good mood, strengthen exercise and improve physical fitness. If the symptoms still do not improve, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time to identify the cause so that targeted treatment can be provided as soon as possible.

Don’t be nervous if your period is delayed. First, you need to identify the cause before taking appropriate measures. If a married woman experiences delayed menstruation, she should first make a self-diagnosis based on her own cycle, and secondly, consider whether she is pregnant. If it is the former, she should receive scientific treatment, and if it is the latter, she should take care to protect herself, not overwork and cause miscarriage in early pregnancy, and at the same time start paying attention to her daily diet and prepare for the arrival of a new life.
