What happens if your period doesn't come for half a month?

Girls have menstruation every month. The condition of menstruation can be used to judge our physical condition. Even if we are in a bad mood, menstruation will not come. If menstruation does not come for half a month, it is also a condition. I believe that many adolescent women will experience this condition. Let us understand what it means if menstruation does not come for half a month.

Abnormal emotions cause menstrual disorders

Abnormal emotions, long-term mental depression, sulking, or severe mental stimulation and psychological trauma can all lead to menstrual disorders or dysmenorrhea or amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is caused by the stimulation of the endometrium by hormones secreted by the ovaries, and the hormones secreted by the ovaries are controlled by the release of hormones from the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Therefore, any abnormality in the function of the ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus will affect menstruation.

Irregular menstruation caused by smoking and drinking

Certain components in tobacco smoke and alcohol can interfere with physiological processes related to menstruation and cause menstrual disorders. Among women who smoke and drink excessively, 25% to 32% go to the hospital for treatment due to irregular menstruation. Among women who smoke more than one pack of cigarettes a day or drink more than 100 mg of strong liquor, the incidence of irregular menstruation is three times that of women who do not smoke or drink. Therefore, women should not smoke and drink less alcohol.

Diet causes menstrual irregularities

Doctors' research on excessive dieting shows that girls need body fat to account for at least 17% of their body weight to experience menarche, and body fat must reach at least 22% of their body weight to maintain a normal menstrual cycle. Excessive dieting will cause a large amount of fat and protein in the body to be consumed due to insufficient energy intake, resulting in estrogen synthesis disorders and obvious estrogen deficiency, affecting menstruation, or even causing scanty menstruation or amenorrhea. Therefore, women who pursue a slim figure must not diet blindly.

The above is a detailed explanation of what happens if menstruation does not stop for half a month. Young women who do not pay attention to their physical health will often suffer from irregular menstruation, leading to endocrine disorders and some skin and digestive esophageal diseases. I hope the above information can be helpful to you.
