Several reasons for delayed menstruation

Women's menstrual cycle is generally 28 to 30 days. About 7 days early or late is still within the normal range, and the length of the cycle varies from person to person. However, if menstruation does not come after more than 7 days, it is considered delayed menstruation. The main reasons for delayed menstruation need to be considered at two levels. The first is pregnancy, and the second is irregular menstruation.

Under normal circumstances, women's menstrual cycle is 28-30 days. It is still considered normal if the menstruation comes early or late by about 7 days. However, if the menstruation does not come after more than 7 days, it is considered delayed menstruation. For adolescent girls, delayed menstruation may occur after the first menstruation. This is a normal phenomenon and happens occasionally. There is no need to worry too much and you should pay attention to taking care of your body. If menstruation is delayed too often, it should not be ignored. The cause should be found out and targeted diagnosis and treatment should be given.

1. Pregnancy

If a woman has had sex and her menstruation is delayed for more than 7 days, and is accompanied by increased urination frequency, nausea, retching, changes in appetite, etc., she should first consider whether she is pregnant. She can use an early pregnancy test to test her urine. If the result is positive, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up to confirm whether she is pregnant.

2. Endocrine imbalance

Endocrine factors such as polycystic ovary syndrome and ovarian aging can also cause delayed menstruation. Check it out in time and start treatment as soon as possible if any abnormality is found.

3. Excessive dieting to lose weight

In order to control their weight, many women take some weight loss drugs or diet too much, which leads to delayed menstruation. If this condition is short-lived, the menstrual cycle can be restored naturally, but for older people, medication is often required to restore the menstrual cycle.

4. Tension and anxiety

If you have abnormal emotions such as nervousness, anxiety, sadness, anger, etc., it will often cause delayed menstruation. Breast pain usually occurs under the influence of mental factors. Generally, no medical treatment is needed, just relax and relax on a daily basis. However, if your menstrual period is delayed, you can take Chinese herbal medicine to regulate your body.

5. Chronic diseases

Some common chronic diseases such as chronic hepatitis, tuberculosis, tumors, hypothyroidism, etc. often cause delayed menstruation due to nutritional deficiencies.

6. Cervical adhesions

There is menstruation, but the menstruation cannot be discharged normally due to adhesion of the cervix and accumulates in the uterus. The patient also has regular abdominal pain. B-ultrasound examination shows that there are shadows in the uterine cavity. It is usually necessary to go to the hospital for cervical dilation. If this situation is not improved in time, it will cause endometriosis.
