What disease can cause amenorrhea?

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. Although it seems troublesome, it is even more troublesome if menstruation does not come. There are many factors that lead to amenorrhea. Pregnancy, stimulation and other factors can affect menstruation. More importantly, when you suffer from certain diseases, it may also cause irregular menstruation. So, what disease can cause amenorrhea? Let’s take a look below.

If a woman's menstruation is delayed for a week and she has sexual life, she should pay attention to whether she is pregnant and do a urine pregnancy test. If she is confirmed to be pregnant, further examination should be done to determine whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy, and appropriate treatment should be given.

In addition to pregnancy, delayed menstruation may also be due to abnormal sex hormones, endocrine disorders, or abnormal reactions to certain medications taken by women. The most common reason for delayed menstruation is menstrual irregularities. Adolescent women or menopausal women often have abnormal estrogen and progesterone levels due to unstable ovarian function, which leads to irregular shedding of the endometrium.

Long-term irregular bleeding can easily induce other gynecological diseases. First of all, long-term vaginal bleeding can easily cause genital tract inflammation, and long-term blood loss can easily lead to anemia in women. If the endometrium is only controlled by estrogen for a long time, it is easy to develop endometrial lesions and induce endometrial diseases such as polyps and even endometrial cancer.

It should also be noted that hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism may also affect the secretion of ovarian hormones, resulting in amenorrhea or amenorrhea. For patients who have ruled out other gynecological diseases as causing delayed menstruation, they should pay attention to examinations of the thyroid and pituitary glands to find out the real cause of delayed menstruation and then carry out targeted treatment.

How many days is it normal to delay menstruation?

There is a time period for delayed menstruation. If it exceeds this time period, it is considered delayed menstruation, which is a symptom of irregular menstruation. There are certain medical regulations on how many days of delayed menstruation is considered normal, usually about a week. Normal menstruation is an important sign of the physical health of mature women. If menstruation is delayed continuously, it should be taken seriously.

A normal menstrual cycle is about 28 days, with ovulation occurring two weeks after the start of menstruation and two weeks before the start of the next menstruation. Most women have their periods every 28-30 days, but it is still normal if it is earlier or later than 7 days. Menstruation usually lasts 3-7 days, and the amount of menstrual bleeding is about 30-50 ml.

Various factors such as emotions, environment, nutrition, etc. can cause early or delayed menstruation, and it may also change from "menstruation" to "seasonal menstruation" or even last longer than half a year or even more than a year. It is normal if there is no lesion.

Many people believe that exceeding the normal cycle range, which is 25-30 days, is an abnormal physiological phenomenon. In fact, it is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Some people have reached "quarter menstruation", but it does not mean that she is unhealthy. In fact, this is closely related to the estrogen level and ovarian function in our body. The normal menstrual cycle is 25-30 days. It is normal if it is earlier or later than a week. However, some women's menstrual cycle may be delayed to two months or even longer, such as one quarter, which is medically called "quarters".
