How to treat delayed menstruation for 20 days

I believe that many female friends will encounter such a situation in life: they are obviously not pregnant, but when the time comes, their menstruation does not come as expected, but is delayed by 20 days. I don’t know if you have ever considered that there is actually a reason why menstruation is delayed like this. So what are the reasons for the delay of menstruation by 10 days? Let’s discuss it together.

1. Mental factors cause delayed menstruation

If you suddenly experience excessive mental stress, grief, sadness, irritation, heartbreak and other abnormal emotions, it will often lead to delayed menstruation. In such cases, you will often experience breast pain, irritability, and depression. Such situations generally do not require treatment, but sometimes if menstruation is delayed, Chinese medicine can be taken for syndrome differentiation and conditioning.

2. Reasons for delayed menstruation

Delayed menstruation caused by taking certain medications: Some medications have side effects that often cause delayed menstruation. For example, long-term use of birth control pills, emergency contraceptive pills, the gastrointestinal motility drug metoclopramide, drugs for treating hyperthyroidism, the Chinese medicine tripterygium wilfordii glycosides, etc. Its characteristic is that the menstrual cycle is often normal before taking these drugs, but delayed after taking them. If the taking time is very short, it often returns to normal after stopping taking them. If the taking time is too long, drug regulation is often required.

3. Chronic diseases cause delayed menstruation

Some 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. The above diseases often have obvious symptoms, abnormalities can usually be detected, and they are not easily misdiagnosed. Once the above diseases occur, the primary disease should be treated as soon as possible, and menstruation will resume naturally after the primary disease is cured.

4. Excessive weight loss leads to delayed menstruation

In real life, many women take weight-loss drugs or go on an excessive diet in order to control their weight, which results in delayed menstruation. In this case, if the duration is short, the normal menstrual cycle can be restored naturally, but for those who last longer, medication is often required to restore the normal menstrual cycle.

Through the introduction in the above article, I believe everyone has a general understanding of the reasons why menstruation is delayed by 20 days? If such a situation occurs in our body, I suggest that everyone should pay attention to it as soon as possible, take preventive measures as early as possible, reduce the impact of this situation on the body, and promote physical health.
