Menstrual disorders are a problem faced by many modern women, such as excessive or insufficient menstrual flow, and premature or delayed menstruation. Menstrual irregularity may be a sign of gynecological diseases in women, so if there is menstrual irregularity, it must be treated in a timely manner. So what's going on if I don't have my period for a month?
1. Pregnancy
If a woman suddenly experiences a delay of 7 days or more in her normal menstrual cycle after engaging in sexual activity, then you may consider whether you are pregnant. The longer the menstrual period expires and is accompanied by some early pregnancy symptoms, the greater the possibility of pregnancy.
Experts suggest that you buy an early pregnancy test strip from a pharmacy and do a self-test first. If the test result is positive, you can then go to a regular hospital for a B-ultrasound examination to confirm whether you are pregnant. This is because, due to various factors, the test results of early pregnancy test strips are not 100% accurate. In addition, a B-ultrasound examination can promptly rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy and avoid the harm caused by ectopic pregnancy.
2. Endocrine disorders
Endocrine factors such as polycystic ovary syndrome and premature ovarian failure in women can also lead to delayed menstruation. It is important to undergo timely examination and seek treatment as soon as abnormalities are detected.
3. Excessive pressure
Women of childbearing age who are under long-term stress can suppress the function of the pituitary gland, causing the ovaries to no longer secrete female hormones and ovulation, leading to menstrual disorders. Similarly, long-term emotional suppression, suffocation, or poor mood can also affect menstruation.
4. Misuse of drugs
The indiscriminate or frequent use of antibiotics can cause menstrual disorders, anovulation, and amenorrhea in women, which may be due to drug inhibition and damage to the body's resistance, leading to functional impairment. Long term use of contraceptive pills can lead to endocrine disorders and also cause menstrual delays.
