Many women are always troubled by their menstrual cycle, feeling annoyed when it comes and worried when it doesn't, making it incredibly frustrating. Many people may not know that an early or delayed menstrual period of about 7 days is also a normal phenomenon. So what are the reasons for delayed menstruation?
1. Pregnancy can easily lead to delayed menstruation. This reason is often applied to women who have just had sexual intercourse. If a female friend's menstrual cycle has always been normal, a pregnancy test can be conducted on the fifth day after the menstrual delay to determine if she is pregnant.
2. Long term use of certain medications leads to delayed menstruation. For example, long-term use of contraceptive pills can easily lead to endocrine disorders, resulting in delayed menstruation.
3. Ovarian diseases lead to delayed menstruation. Premature ovarian failure and some ovarian diseases may also cause menstrual delay, so female friends should go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner. Once abnormalities are found, they should be treated as soon as possible.
4. Some uterine surgeries cause menstrual delays. If abortion, medical abortion, and uterine cavity surgery are performed to damage the uterus, it can also delay menstruation.
5. Changes in one's own emotions lead to delayed menstruation. When emotions are suppressed, such as high life pressure, mental tension, environmental changes, or some endocrine disorders, it is possible to cause menstrual delay. This situation often leads to symptoms such as restlessness, breast swelling and pain, depression and discomfort. Usually, these symptoms do not require special treatment, but if they do not occur for a long time, traditional Chinese medicine can be taken for syndrome differentiation and adjustment.
6. Chronic diseases can also cause menstrual delays. Common chronic diseases such as tuberculosis and hypothyroidism can cause a lack of nutrition in the body, leading to delayed menstruation.
