What if I don't have my period for 40 days?

What's going on if the menstrual period hasn't come for more than 40 days? I believe that many women have encountered this problem, but they probably don't know the real reason, right? Delayed or absent menstruation is not good for women's health, because menstruation can help women excrete waste from the body and make women's body stronger. Therefore, the arrival of menstruation is very important. If you want to know more, please read this now.

40 days without a period is most likely a sign of pregnancy, but it may also be related to our mentality, lifestyle, etc. Next we will introduce several conditions that cause amenorrhea.

1. Pregnancy: If a woman who has had sex recently finds that she has not had her period for two months, she should check whether she is pregnant. Because "menopause" is the first sign of pregnancy, if you have not had sex, or have already taken a pregnancy test, then consider other factors.

2. Abnormal mental state, such as long-term mental depression, tension and anxiety, or severe mental stimulation and psychological trauma, can cause menstrual disorders or dysmenorrhea, or amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is caused by the action of hormones secreted by the uterus and ovaries on the uterine wall. The secretion of hormones by the uterus and ovaries is controlled by the hormones released by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Therefore, any abnormality in the function of the uterus and ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus will affect menstruation.

3. During women's menstrual period, severe cold stimulation will cause the blood vessels in the pelvis to contract excessively, resulting in delayed menstruation. Therefore, women should pay attention to preventing cold and moisture during their menstrual period in their daily life.

4. The body fat of a young girl must be at least 17% of her weight to experience her first menstruation, and the body fat must be at least 22% of her weight to maintain a normal menstrual cycle. Excessive dieting to lose weight will cause the body to consume a lot of body fat and protein due to insufficient energy intake, which will lead to the obstruction of estrogen production and a significant deficiency, affecting the menarche and causing scarce menstruation or amenorrhea. Therefore, ladies who pursue a perfect and slender figure should not blindly follow the trend of dieting to lose weight.
