Will delayed menstruation affect pregnancy? Gynecological experts answer questions

Many women experience delayed menstruation, which is a manifestation of irregular menstruation. According to gynecological experts, there are many reasons for delayed menstruation, so it may or may not affect normal pregnancy.

1. Irregular menstruation can be regulated. If you want to have a child, it is best to regulate your menstruation first, and then get pregnant after your menstruation returns to normal.

Guidance:

If menstruation is often delayed, the ovulation period is not easy to calculate, so the chance of conception will be reduced accordingly. In this case, you can use ovulation test strips to detect the ovulation day. The chance of pregnancy is relatively high if you have sex before or after that day.

2. If the menstruation is delayed for a short time and ovulation is normal, it will not affect pregnancy. Generally, a delay of within a week is normal.

Guidance:

However, if the delay is long and no dominant follicles are found during testing, a hormone test should be done to see if the menstrual disorder is caused by poor hormone secretion. If so, just supplement the missing hormone.

3. Always delaying menstruation may be caused by abnormal hormones in the body, which may have a certain impact on pregnancy.

Guidance:

If the delay is not too many days, there should not be any major problem. It is recommended to conduct six hormone tests to identify abnormalities and prescribe appropriate medications.

4. Generally, it is normal for menstruation to be delayed for no more than one week. If your period is delayed every month but the overall menstrual cycle does not change much, this is normal. If you have been trying to get pregnant for more than a year without getting pregnant, you should consider the possibility of infertility. It is recommended that both husband and wife go to the hospital for a check-up. The female will have her vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries checked, and ovulation monitored; the male will have his sperm survival rate, activity, etc checked.

5. There are many reasons for irregular menstruation, such as: endocrine disorders, external factors, nutritional status, mental factors, drug factors, etc. If you have long-term irregular menstruation, you should promptly conduct further examinations to identify the cause of the irregular menstruation.

Guidance: If it is an organic lesion of the reproductive system, it can lead to infertility. You need to go to the hospital to check and determine the cause of the disease, and then follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment.
