Women may have experienced the symptom of sudden delay of menstruation, but many people do not understand this symptom, nor do they know what this symptom is.

Let's take a look at it together, and hope that everyone can understand it through the editor's introduction.

Delayed menstruation caused by endocrine abnormalities: The most common clinical condition is polycystic ovary syndrome. If you have obesity, hirsutism, acne, infertility, etc., you should have an endocrine check. Once abnormalities are found, you should seek treatment as soon as possible. Premature ovarian failure can also lead to delayed menstruation. Some patients, especially those around 35 years old, experience delayed menstruation and often have facial flushing, irritability, palpitations and insomnia. They should check six endocrine items to see if there are any problems with follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and estrogen. If it is a problem with ovarian function, these test results will reflect it. Once abnormalities are discovered, treatment should be initiated as soon as possible. Commonly used Chinese medicines include Nu Xing Bao Capsules, Liuwei Dihuang Pills, etc. Western medicines can include estrogen drugs as needed.

Delayed menstruation caused by mental factors: If you suddenly experience excessive mental stress, grief, sadness, anger, heartbreak and other abnormal emotions, it will often lead to delayed menstruation. In such cases, the patient often suffers from breast pain, irritability, depression and discomfort. Such situations generally do not require treatment, but sometimes if menstruation is delayed, Chinese medicine can be taken for syndrome differentiation and conditioning.

Delayed menstruation due to taking certain medications: Some medications have side effects that often cause delayed menstruation. For example, long-term use of birth control pills, emergency contraceptive pills, the gastrointestinal motility drug metoclopramide, drugs for treating hyperthyroidism, the Chinese medicine tripterygium wilfordii glycosides, etc. Its characteristic is that the menstrual cycle is often normal before taking these drugs, but delayed after taking them. If the taking time is very short, it often returns to normal after stopping taking them. If the taking time is too long, drug regulation is often required.

Chronic diseases leading to delayed menstruation: Some chronic wasting diseases often lead to delayed menstruation due to nutritional deficiencies. Common ones include chronic hepatitis, tuberculosis, tumors, hypothyroidism, severe iron deficiency anemia, aplastic anemia, etc., which often cause delayed menstruation. The above diseases often have obvious symptoms, abnormalities can usually be detected, and they are not easily misdiagnosed. Once the above diseases occur, the primary disease should be treated as soon as possible, and menstruation will resume naturally after the primary disease is cured.
