Menstruation really makes women love and hate it. What they love is that its timely arrival means that their bodies are healthier, but what they hate is that once it comes, it can make women suffer half to death. Generally speaking, normal menstruation is a 28-30 day cycle, but now many female friends often have delayed menstruation, and some even have delayed menstruation for 20 days. What is going on? What is the reason for a 20-day delay in menstruation? If a woman is not pregnant, a 20-day delay in menstruation is a very dangerous signal. To be precise, this is irregular menstruation, which can lead to endocrine disorders, poor skin, etc. in women. However, the most dangerous thing is that the delay is most likely caused by uterine disease. The reasons for the delay of 20 days are as follows: What is the reason for a 20-day delay in menstruation? 1. 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. 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. Menstrual delay caused by mental factors 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. 4. 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. In fact, no matter what the reason is for the delay of 20 days of menstruation, if you have this situation, do not ignore it. It is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations, especially for women who often have this situation. It is necessary to diagnose and treat it in time, otherwise it may be a threat to future fertility. It can be seen that it is very harmful! |
