What to do if your menstruation is delayed or less

It is normal for women to maintain a certain period of menstruation, but it is also normal for women to have sex earlier or later. Women's delayed menstruation may be caused by many reasons. If women often stay up late a week before the menstrual period, the menstrual period may be delayed. What should women do if their menstrual period is delayed?

What happens if women have delayed menstruation?

Delayed menstruation in women is a bad situation. Delayed menstruation means that a woman's menstrual period comes more than 7 days later than the normal physiological cycle. The normal cycle time for women is 28-30 days. It is still within the normal range if it is about 7 days early or late. The length of the cycle varies from person to person. If a woman finds that her period is delayed for more than a week, it is considered delayed menstruation. There are many factors that affect menstruation, including mentality, medication, and lifestyle, and the actual situation varies from person to person. But once it exceeds 10 days, it is very likely that you are pregnant. It is best to go to the hospital for a professional check-up. If you are not pregnant, you should also check whether you have a gynecological disease. If women take good care of their health on a regular basis, menstruation delays will not occur easily. Therefore, women should pay attention to the following:

1. Don't wear tight pants often. Tight underwear and thong underwear are mostly made of synthetic fiber materials with poor breathability. When wearing such underwear, vaginal secretions and perineum sweat cannot evaporate in time. If they are not cleaned in time, they will create good conditions for the breeding of bacteria, thus causing perineum infection.

2. Don’t take a shower casually when you go on vacation. Be sure to choose a place with hygienic conditions and avoid small hotels with poor sanitation. Don't use the hotel's bathtub casually, don't wear long pajamas, and try to put handkerchiefs on the toilet before using it.

3. The daily diet must maintain a light taste.

Causes of irregular menstruation

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. Because it is affected by many factors inside and outside the body, each person's menstrual expression is different. Menstrual disorder is also called irregular menstruation, which is manifested as abnormal menstrual cycle or bleeding, or abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before menstruation and during menstruation. The causes of irregular menstruation are as follows:

1. Hormone imbalance: Women of childbearing age who are under long-term stress will inhibit the function of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, causing the uterus and ovaries to no longer secrete estrogen and ovulate, and their menstrual periods will begin to become irregular. In addition, it will cause unlimited growth of the uterine wall, until it grows to a thickness that the uterus itself cannot bear, causing initial bleeding. Therefore, the normal menstrual flow is small and dark red in the early stage, which will turn into heavy bleeding over time.

2. Problems with thyroid cysts: If the function of the thyroid cysts is too low or too high, it will lead to ovarian imbalance and irregular menstruation.

3. Eating hot and cold food and getting cold: If women get cold during their menstrual period, the blood vessels in the pelvis will constrict, causing ovarian disorder, which can lead to too little menstrual flow or even amenorrhea.

4. Improper medication. Frequent and excessive use of antibiotics may cause menstrual disorders, anovulation, and amenorrhea for women. Because this drug suppresses and damages the body's own resistance, it causes functional problems.
