Generally speaking, the normal menstrual cycle for women is about one month. It is normal for menstruation to be advanced or delayed by 7 days, but if it exceeds this time, women should pay attention and investigate the cause, and receive targeted treatment and adjustment. So, what is the reason for delayed menstruation?
1. Pregnancy: Delayed menstruation may be caused by pregnancy, such as not using contraception during sexual intercourse. Early pregnancy testing can be conducted after a 10 day delay in menstruation. If diagnosed as pregnant, women should pay attention to protecting themselves in all aspects.
2. High stress: If women are in a state of sadness and depression for a long time, they may also experience internal endocrine disorders due to mental stress and excessive pressure, leading to endocrine disorders and delayed menstruation. So it is important to check for pregnancy and go to the hospital for relevant examinations in order to have better coping measures.
3. Drug reactions: Some women have a long-term habit of taking contraceptive pills, which can cause endocrine disorders in the body, leading to delayed menstruation. Another expert pointed out that some stomach medicines may also cause delayed menstruation in women, so it is important to pay attention to safe medication under the specific guidance of a doctor.
4. Improper diet: Some women tend to eat raw, cold, and stimulating foods during their menstrual period, which can cause excessive constriction of pelvic blood vessels, resulting in menstrual insufficiency, delayed menstruation, and even amenorrhea.
