Generally speaking, the menstrual cycle is one month, and it is normal for it to be early or late occasionally. However, some female friends become very worried when they find that their period is always late. Why is menstruation always delayed? Perhaps without us knowing it, there is something wrong with our bodies. Because delayed menstruation is also a signal sent by the body. 1. Pregnancy Generally, you can test whether you are pregnant 7 days after having sex. If a woman of childbearing age has had sexual intercourse before and her period is delayed for more than a week, she should consider whether she is pregnant. There are many ways to determine whether you are pregnant. Early pregnancy test strips are often used to determine it. In order to know accurately whether you are pregnant, you can go to the hospital for a blood HCG test. 2. Drug factors Studies have shown that long-term use of birth control pills, emergency contraceptive pills, the gastrokinetic drug metoclopramide, drugs for treating hyperthyroidism, and the Chinese medicine tripterygium wilfordii glycosides can all cause delayed menstruation. For certain medications that may cause delayed menstruation, they should be taken reasonably under the guidance of a doctor if the need for treatment is ruled out. 3. Mental factors Delayed menstruation is mostly related to mental stress. If a woman is too nervous or under too much work pressure, it may lead to delayed menstruation, dysmenorrhea, or even amenorrhea. Some women may experience abdominal distension, back pain, etc. during their menstrual period. These are all normal and there is no need to be overly nervous. 4. Impact of diseases Menstrual conditions are closely related to women's physical health. Diseases such as cervical adhesions, premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovary syndrome, abnormal thyroid function, chronic hepatitis, tumors, severe iron deficiency anemia, etc. can all lead to delayed menstruation. 5. Changes in living habits or living environment Bad living habits such as staying up late, excessive dieting, addiction to smoking and drinking, and greed for raw and cold food have a great impact on women's menstruation. Only a healthy lifestyle can keep your menstruation regular. In addition, changes in living environment may also affect the arrival of menstruation. For example, colder weather may cause menstruation to be delayed. |
