Menstrual delay of 13 days is a clear menstrual disorder. With the high pressure of urban life nowadays, many women do not pay much attention to this issue, which is actually harmful to women's health. If the cause and treatment methods cannot be found in a timely manner, it is easy to cause some gynecological diseases, so women should detect and treat them as early as possible. What are the reasons for a 13 day delay in menstruation? Let's take a look together.
Reasons for menstrual delay
1. Causes of pregnancy
If a woman becomes pregnant, her menstrual cycle will inevitably stop. For women whose menstrual cycle has always been normal and shows no signs of delay, and who have recently experienced vomiting, nausea, and other symptoms, and whose menstrual cycle has been delayed for about 13 days, it is best to use early pregnancy test strips or pregnancy test sticks for testing, or go to the hospital for examination to obtain safe and accurate results.
2. Drug side effects
Long term use of many medications, such as contraceptive pills or weight loss pills, may cause menstrual delays. Therefore, it is recommended to minimize the frequency and duration of medication use in daily life.
3. Caused by surgery
Women who have recently undergone abortion, medical abortion, or uterine cavity surgery may experience some damage to the endometrial wall, so menstruation will not resume until the endometrium gradually recovers.
4. Psychological factors
Abnormal emotions such as excessive mental tension, grief, anger, sadness, and heartbreak often lead to delayed menstruation, which generally does not require treatment. However, sometimes if menstruation continues to be delayed, traditional Chinese medicine can be taken for syndrome differentiation and regulation.
5. Diet
Some women consume excessive amounts of spicy, stimulating, or cold food before menstruation, which can lead to blood stasis and poor blood flow, resulting in delayed menstruation.
