My period is 10 days late, what's going on?

Delayed menstruation is a common problem among modern women. Many women experience varying degrees of delayed menstruation. There are many factors that lead to delayed menstruation. Different reasons for delayed menstruation require different countermeasures to deal with them calmly. This article will introduce the reasons why menstruation is delayed for 10 days.

1. Excessive weight loss and unhealthy lifestyle, such as irregular diet, late bedtimes and late rises, long-term skipping of breakfast, etc.

2. Women may be under too much pressure at work or in study, which may lead to an unhappy lifestyle.

3. The key reason for delayed menstruation in women is still gynecological diseases, such as cervicitis, endometritis, vaginitis, etc., which all cause menstrual disorders in women.

4. Pregnancy. But 7 days after the menstruation is delayed, you can use the "Early Pregnancy Test Strip" to test the urine. If it is positive, you may be pregnant. If the "Early Pregnancy Test Strip" is negative, the opposite is true. But if you are pregnant, there are also other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, breast pain, etc. Of course, the final method is to go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound examination.

5. Side effects of therapeutic drugs. For example, endocrine imbalance after long-term use of emergency contraception can also lead to delayed menstruation. Based on the patient's symptoms, the doctor also found that the new generation of gastric prokinetic drug metoclopramide, also known as domperidone, may also cause it. Because metoclopramide does not easily pass through the blood-brain barrier, it is believed to have no inhibitory effect on central nervous system dopamine receptors. The dopamine receptors in the nerve center are inhibited, resulting in a small amount of hypothalamic pituitary release factors entering the anterior pituitary. Therefore, the secretion of gonadotropin and corticosteroids by the anterior pituitary decreases, causing amenorrhea and delayed ovulation.

6. Caused by surgical treatment. For example, intrauterine surgical treatment may cause cervical adhesions, leading to menstrual blood congestion, thereby delaying menstruation.

7. Others. Such as psychological disorders such as tension and anxiety, too much pressure, changes in the natural environment, and some diseases that affect the endocrine system. Can cause delayed menstruation.
