Causes of delayed menstruation due to endocrine disorders

I believe that many female friends will experience irregular menstruation, and sometimes it will be delayed for a few days. I believe this situation is quite common. Many people do not take it seriously and think it is a normal phenomenon and that it is just delayed for a few days. This perception is wrong. Our menstruation helps us detoxify the body and make our body healthier. If irregular phenomena occur, it means that there is something wrong with the body.

1. Endocrine disorders lead to delayed menstruation

Endocrine reasons such as polycystic ovary syndrome and premature ovarian failure can also lead to delayed menstruation. Timely examination should be carried out and treatment should be started as soon as abnormalities are found.

2. Chronic diseases cause delayed menstruation

Some common chronic diseases such as chronic hepatitis, tuberculosis, tumors, hypothyroidism, etc. often lead to delayed menstruation due to nutritional deficiencies.

3. Cervical adhesions lead to delayed menstruation

There is menstrual blood, but it cannot be discharged normally due to adhesion of the cervix and accumulates in the uterus. The patient will have periodic abdominal pain. B-ultrasound examination can show dark areas in the uterine cavity, and the patient often needs to go to the hospital for cervical dilation. If this situation is not improved in time, it will lead to endometriosis.

4. Excessive weight loss leads to delayed menstruation

In order to control their weight, many women take weight loss drugs or go on an excessive diet, which leads to delayed menstruation. If this situation is short-lived, the normal menstrual cycle can be restored naturally. However, for those who persist for a long time, medication is often required to restore the normal menstrual cycle.

5. Premature ovarian failure leads to delayed menstruation

Premature ovarian failure is caused by abnormal ovarian function. It often manifests as delayed menstruation, infrequent menstruation, amenorrhea and infertility. Symptoms similar to menopause such as vaginal dryness, dyspareunia, hot flashes and insomnia may occur.

6. Delayed menstruation due to pregnancy

For women of childbearing age who have had sexual life, when their menstruation is delayed, they often doubt whether it is menstruation abnormality or they are pregnant. This problem is a very common phenomenon in daily life.

First, determine whether you are pregnant. If your menstrual cycle has always been normal, with no signs of delay, and there are some signs of pregnancy, you should use an early pregnancy test strip to test your urine on the fifth day after your delayed period (or the fifth day calculated from the start of your period). If the test result is positive, you should have a gynecological pelvic examination. If the cervix changes to purple-blue, the uterus is full or enlarged, and there may be accompanying symptoms such as breast tenderness and nausea, you can be diagnosed with pregnancy.

Women's menstruation and physical health are inseparable. We can see a lot of problems from the menstrual situation. If your menstruation is delayed and there are some signs of pregnancy, you should go to the hospital to see if you are pregnant. The above is a detailed introduction to the various reasons for delayed menstruation. We can find out the reasons for our problems accordingly and then prescribe the right medicine.
