What to eat to delay menstruation?

For various reasons, some women need to postpone their menstruation for a few days, but they don’t know which method can achieve a good delay effect. So here I will introduce to you what methods can be used to postpone menstruation, as well as some common sense that everyone must pay attention to on this issue to avoid more impacts and harms caused by wrong methods.

To delay menstruation for a few days, taking birth control pills is effective.

The method of taking is:

① For those with regular menstruation, you can start taking oral contraceptive pills for visiting relatives 3-5 days before your period, one pill every night, and take it continuously until the end of the activity. Your period will come 3-5 days after stopping the pills.

② For those who are currently taking short-acting contraceptives, they can continue taking them after taking 22 tablets.

③ In the second half of the menstrual cycle, it is best to take oral contraceptives every day, two tablets a day, starting one week before the next menstrual period, until three days before the date of your scheduled delayed menstruation. This can achieve the purpose of delaying menstruation. But some women take the medicine for 2-3 months at a time or for several months at a time in order to reduce the frequency of menstruation. This is not advisable. Because the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and endometrium are not easy to recover after being excessively suppressed by drugs.

The progestin drug medroxyprogesterone acetate (also known as progesterone acetate) can delay the shedding of the endometrium and postpone the onset of menstruation. A few days after stopping the medication, the endometrium sheds due to the loss of support from progesterone, and menstruation begins. The drug is easy to take, and its only side effects are occasional nausea, vomiting, headache, etc. It will not cause endocrine disorders, and short-term and occasional use will not lead to obesity or other problems.

In fact, women's menstruation will form a regular pattern. Sometimes, if we blindly postpone or advance it, it will naturally be detrimental to our health. Therefore, I hope women can pay attention to it. Unless it is absolutely necessary, do not postpone or advance the arrival of menstruation. You should pay more attention to your body maintenance.
