What happens if I haven't had my period for 38 days?

Women have a time of month that is different from other times, which we call the menstrual period. Women tend to become irritable and irritable during the menstrual period, which confuses many people. Is it normal not to have a period for 38 days? How many days is normal for a period?

The normal menstrual cycle of women is about 28 days. If the menstrual cycle is delayed for more than 7 days, or even does not come for a month, it is called delayed menstruation. Because every woman's physical condition is different, the menstrual cycle will also be different. Even women with relatively normal cycles may sometimes be early or delayed for a few days. Generally, 3-5 days is the range, or sometimes it is delayed once. There is no need to worry too much about these situations. But if someone asks, is it normal to delay menstruation for a month, the doctor will answer in the negative. Habitual delay of menstruation is a major manifestation of menstrual irregularity, and a delay of one month is even more abnormal.

The reasons for a one-month delay in menstruation include the following:

1. Metabolic abnormalities: The most common clinical syndrome is polycystic ovary syndrome. If you have obesity, excessive hair growth, infertility, etc., you should have an endocrine check. Once abnormality occurs, medical treatment should be sought as soon as possible.

2. Menstrual delay caused by mental factors: If you suddenly experience abnormal mental state such as mental stress, anxiety, grief, sadness, anger, breakup, etc., it will often lead to delayed menstruation. Therefore, we should learn to adjust ourselves in life and try to maintain a happy mood, which is conducive to maintaining normal menstruation.

3. Delayed menstruation caused by taking some medicines: Some women choose to take medicines to lose weight, which will cause some side effects, endocrine disorders, and finally cause irregular menstruation. Emergency contraception is also a drug that will affect the normal menstrual period. You should try to avoid taking this drug or strictly control the dosage.

4. Chronic diseases lead to delayed menstruation: Some chronic active hepatitis often leads to delayed menstruation due to malnutrition. The primary disease should be treated as soon as possible, and the menstruation will naturally resume after the primary disease is cured.
