Is it normal to delay my period by 13 days?

A delay of 13 days in menstruation is a significant menstrual disorder. With such high work pressure in modern cities, many women do not pay much attention to such problems. In fact, it harms women's reproductive health. If the cause and treatment methods are not found in time, it is easy to cause some gynecological diseases, so women should discover it as soon as possible and treat it as soon as possible. So what are the reasons for menstruation being delayed by 13 days? Let’s take a look together.

Reasons for delayed menstruation

1. Causes of pregnancy

If a woman becomes pregnant, her menstrual period will definitely stop. For women whose menstrual cycles have always been normal and have never shown signs of delay, if they have recently experienced vomiting, nausea, etc., and their periods have been delayed for about 13 days, it is best to use an early pregnancy test strip or pregnancy test stick for testing. You can also go to the hospital for examination to get the results safely and accurately.

2. Side effects of treatment drugs

Long-term use of many therapeutic drugs may cause delayed menstruation. For example, long-term use of emergency contraception or weight loss products can cause delayed menstruation. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid the frequency and time of using therapeutic drugs in daily life.

3. Surgery

Women who have recently undergone artificial abortion, medical abortion or intrauterine surgery will have suffered some trauma to the uterine wall, so menstruation will not occur again until the uterine wall is slowly repaired.

4. Spiritual elements

Abnormal emotions such as mental stress, anxiety, grief, sadness, and heartbreak usually cause delayed menstruation, which generally does not require treatment. However, if the menstruation is delayed for a long time, you can take Chinese herbal medicine for dialectical conditioning.

5. Diet

Some women eat too much spicy food, irritating or cold food before menstruation, which will cause blood stasis and poor blood circulation, resulting in delayed menstruation.
