Why does taking folic acid delay my period?

Diet is very important for our daily life, especially women's diet has a great impact on their menstrual period. Abnormal diet and lifestyle will cause changes in women's menstrual cycle, which is not good for women's health and menstrual regularity. Some people have some doubts: Why is menstruation delayed immediately after taking folic acid tablets?

Folic acid is a type of vitamin and plays a very important role in the production of blood cells, so it is said that it will not affect the delay of menstruation. There are many factors that may cause delayed menstruation in women, but it has nothing to do with folic acid tablets. Women's menstrual period is actually affected by various factors. For women, if there is a delay in menstruation, they should first rule out the possibility of pregnancy, and then consider whether it is irregular menstruation.

Folic acid tablets are a vitamin, not a hormonal drug, and are not likely to cause menstrual disorders in women. It is normal for women's menstruation to be delayed by less than a week. If the normal menstrual cycle exceeds 35 days, it is considered infrequent menstruation. It may be that the egg growth cycle is longer. Because the estrogen secreted by the ovary acts on the uterine wall for a longer time, and the follicular phase after ovulation is a relatively fixed time, usually about 14 days. The longer follicular phase causes delayed menstruation. If menstruation is delayed, you should see a doctor for a pelvic B-ultrasound and six sex hormone tests, and take necessary treatment measures based on the actual cause.

What are the reasons for delayed menstruation?

The reasons for delayed menstruation are many and are affected by various factors. The key factors are:

1. If you have had sex before and your period is delayed for more than a week, you need to consider whether you are pregnant.

2. Long-term use of some therapeutic drugs will cause delayed menstruation.

3. Most of them are related to psychological stress. Excessive anxiety or work pressure may cause irregular menstruation.

4. Some poor lifestyles and changes in living environment affect the onset of menstruation.

Abnormal menstruation may be a reflection of some symptoms and should be checked in time to avoid affecting your health. If menstruation is delayed for a long time, you need to go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations and even receive treatment. However, there is a high possibility that it is a pregnancy condition, which requires immediate testing to avoid adverse effects on the fetus and your own health.
