Why is menstruation delayed?

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.
