When women experience excessive work and life pressure, it is reasonable for their menstrual cycle to be advanced or delayed. If it happens once or twice, don't worry too much. Menstruation is a regular and periodic uterine bleeding. Normally, the normal menstrual cycle should be 28-30 days, and if it is advanced or delayed by one week, it is considered normal. Next, let's learn about the reasons for delaying menstruation by 15 days?
1. Pregnancy: After a 7-day delay in menstruation, urine can be tested with a "pregnancy early detection test strip". If it is positive, it is likely to lead to pregnancy. If the "pregnancy early detection test strip" is negative, the opposite is true. But if pregnant, there may also be other symptoms such as nausea, breast tenderness, etc. Of course, the final solution is to go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound examination.
2. Menstrual disorders: Menstrual delay is a common gynecological disease, characterized by abnormal menstrual cycle or bleeding volume, or abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before and during menstruation. The cause may be organic lesions or functional disorders.
3. Common gynecological diseases: Many systemic diseases such as blood disorders, hypertension, liver diseases, endocrine disorders, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, reproductive tract infections, tumors, etc. can cause menstrual disorders.
4. Surgery: Causes menstrual delay. Uterine cavity surgery can cause cervical adhesions, resulting in menstrual blood stasis and thus delaying menstruation.
5. Other reasons include psychological factors such as mental stress, high pressure, environmental changes, and some endocrine disorders. Both can cause menstrual delay.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, emotional anxiety and restlessness before menstruation, easy temper tantrums, overeating or anorexia, constipation or diarrhea repeatedly alternating, acne, bloating or abdominal pain are all reasons that can lead to delayed menstruation. In addition, when women experience anemia, the delay in menstruation is very serious, often lasting for more than forty days and feeling weak throughout the body.
