Reasons why the luteal phase lasts longer than 14 days

The follicular phase is from ovulation to the day before menarche. During this time, the uterus and ovaries are stimulated by progesterone and secrete luteinizing hormone. This can maintain the thickness of the uterine wall, which is beneficial to the implantation of the embryo combined with sperm and egg. If there is no sperm and egg combination, it will turn into menstruation. So, what is the reason why the follicular phase exceeds 14 days?

The follicular phase is usually about 14 days. If it is too long, women will experience irregular menstruation or delayed menstruation. This may be caused by endocrine problems, or it may be due to excessive work pressure and depression in women. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an endocrine examination and adjust the treatment according to the cause.

If the follicular phase is too long due to excessive stress or excessive psychological pressure, it is recommended to adjust your mood, do moderate exercise, and relax yourself. A long follicular phase may also be caused by anemia. If this is the case, you should eat more iron-rich foods so that your menstrual period will be normal only when your blood is sufficient.

To sum up, the follicular phase exceeding 14 days may be caused by disease or endocrine disorders. In addition, if women are in depression for a long time or are under too much pressure, the follicular phase will be too long, resulting in menstrual disorders. Women should pay attention to relaxing themselves in daily life and not let themselves experience heavy mental burden.
