Can fatigue cause delayed menstruation?

There are many reasons for delayed menstruation, such as endocrine disorders or mental factors, taking certain medications or chronic diseases can also cause delayed menstruation. Finally, excessive fatigue can also cause delayed menstruation. This situation generally requires medication to be cured.

First, delayed menstruation caused by endocrine abnormalities

The most common clinical condition is polycystic ovary syndrome. If you have symptoms such as obesity, hirsutism, acne, and infertility, you should have your endocrine system checked. Once any abnormality is found, you should seek treatment as soon as possible. Premature ovarian failure can also lead to delayed menstruation.

Second, delayed menstruation caused by mental factors.

If you suddenly experience excessive mental stress, grief, sadness, anger, heartbreak and other abnormal emotions, it will often lead to delayed menstruation. In such cases, the patient often suffers from breast pain, irritability, depression and discomfort. This situation generally does not require treatment, but sometimes if menstruation is delayed, you can take Chinese medicine for regulation.

Third, delayed menstruation caused by taking certain medications.

For example, taking various contraceptives, the gastrointestinal motility drug metoclopramide, etc. Its characteristic is that the menstrual cycle is often normal before taking these drugs, but delayed after taking them. If the taking time is very short, it often returns to normal after stopping taking them. If the taking time is too long, drug regulation is often required.

Fourth, chronic diseases cause delayed menstruation.

Some chronic wasting diseases often lead to delayed menstruation due to nutritional deficiencies. Common ones include chronic hepatitis, tuberculosis, tumors, hypothyroidism, severe iron deficiency anemia, aplastic anemia, etc., which often cause delayed menstruation. The above diseases often have obvious symptoms, abnormalities can usually be detected, and they are not easily misdiagnosed.

The last reason is that excessive weight loss leads to delayed menstruation.

In life, many women take weight-loss drugs or go on an excessive diet in order to control their weight, which leads to delayed menstruation. In this case, if it is short-lived, the normal menstrual cycle can be restored naturally, but for those who suffer from it for a long time, it often requires medication to recover.
