What is the reason for delayed menstruation?

1. Pregnancy: If the menstruation has not come after 7 days of delay, you can use the "Early Pregnancy Test Strip" to test the urine. If it is positive, you are very likely to be pregnant. However, if you are pregnant, there will be other symptoms, such as nausea, dizziness, weakness in the limbs, breast pain, etc. Of course, the best way is to go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound examination.

2. Ovarian diseases: such as premature ovarian failure, which often manifests as delayed menstruation, infrequent menstruation, amenorrhea and infertility.

3. Side effects of the drug: Long-term use of emergency contraception can cause endocrine imbalance and may also lead to delayed menstruation.

4. Caused by surgery: If improper intrauterine surgery causes cervical adhesions and leads to menstrual blood stasis, it can also delay menstruation.

5. Mental factors: severe mental stimulation, excessive work pressure, excessive fatigue, and changes in living environment can all cause delayed menstruation or amenorrhea.

6. It may be caused by endocrine imbalance, which is related to polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian aging, etc.

If the possibility of pregnancy is ruled out, it is very likely that endocrine imbalance has caused menstrual disorders. Therefore, you need to go to the hospital for examination immediately, determine the cause of the disease, and use medication for treatment. If your period is delayed for 5 days, it may also be caused by psychological disorders such as anxiety, stress, changes in the natural environment, etc. The side effects of drugs and improper gynecological minimally invasive surgery may also cause delayed menstruation.

What complications can irregular menstruation cause?

1. Premenstrual syndrome, which is also a complication of irregular menstruation, refers to a series of abnormal signs that appear before menstruation, such as inattention, tension and anxiety, irritability, restlessness, insomnia, headache, depression, breast pain, etc.

2. Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is generally a manifestation that gradually appears in women during menopause. The growth and development of bone hyperplasia requires a proper balance between estrogen and female hormones. Women with irregular menstruation disrupt the balance of hormones, which may lead to the early onset of osteoporosis or more severe symptoms of osteoporosis in later life, and may also be accompanied by bone pain, leg pain, fatigue, etc.

3. Cause headaches. Medicine believes that menstrual headaches are caused by deficiency of Qi and blood, blood stasis, and excessive liver fire. Deficiency of Qi and blood is the main factor causing the disease. Patients with irregular menstruation have heavy menstruation, and excessive outflow causes blood and qi deficiency, thus causing headaches, accompanied by dizziness, palpitations, insomnia, fatigue, etc.

4. Polycystic ovary syndrome, the main manifestations are infrequent menstruation or amenorrhea, infertility, excessive hair growth and obesity. Double uterus and ovaries represent polycystic ovarian enlargement, which can be treated with growth hormone surgery.
