Delaying a woman's menstrual period for too long indicates the presence of health problems. Most women's menstrual cycles, even if they occur earlier or later, should not return to normal until within a week. If it exceeds this time, it should be considered as abnormal behavior. So, what is the reason for delayed menstruation?
Reason 1: There may be a possibility of pregnancy. If there is a delay in menstruation during the preparation for pregnancy or sexual activity between couples, it is possible that they have already become pregnant. It is necessary to go to the hospital for ultrasound examination and blood routine examination to determine whether the delay in menstruation is due to pregnancy.
Reason 2: The body is stimulated by coldness. If a woman eats a lot of cold food or drinks a lot of cold drinks before menstruation, causing the body to suddenly be invaded by cold pathogens, menstruation may be delayed or stopped.
Reason three: Psychological factors. Long term work pressure, psychological tension, mental anxiety, insomnia, heavy life, or psychological trauma can cause hormonal imbalances in the body, which can affect the stability of a woman's menstrual cycle.
In addition, if a woman occasionally experiences a menstrual delay, there is no need to worry because menstruation comes on average every four weeks, and it is generally normal to have it advanced or delayed by less than a week. If the possibility of pregnancy is ruled out due to delayed menstruation, and the menstrual cycle is often delayed for more than 7 days, accompanied by frequent abdominal discomfort and abnormal menstrual blood, there may be gynecological diseases that require hospital examination to determine the cause.
