A woman's period is delayed by 20 days

Under normal circumstances, a woman's menstrual cycle is about one month. If the menstrual cycle is only delayed by a few days, there will generally be no problem. However, if the menstrual cycle is delayed for too long, women need to pay attention to it. Some women's menstruation is delayed because of pregnancy, but endocrine disorders can also cause everyone's menstruation to be delayed. So what’s going on if your period is delayed for 20 days and hasn’t come yet?

What if my period is 20 days late?

If your period is delayed for 20 days, the first thing you need to confirm is whether you are pregnant. Women can buy pregnancy test strips to test the pregnancy themselves. If you are sure you are pregnant, it is best to go to the hospital for examination. If the pregnancy test result shows that you are not pregnant, women should take it seriously and go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to see if it is normal. Don't think that you can just brush it off as it's nothing. Menstruation is very important to women.

The reason why menstruation is delayed for 20 days and no menstruation occurs. 1. Take medicine for a long time. Some women have been taking birth control pills for a long time. All medicines are poisonous and they do have a very bad effect on women's health. Taking too much birth control pills will cause endocrine disorders in women and may also cause delayed menstruation. In addition to birth control pills, some other drugs may also cause delayed menstruation, such as the new generation of gastrointestinal prokinetic drug metoclopramide, which may also cause delayed menstruation.

The harm of irregular menstruation

1. Situations that cause headaches. Headache is one of our common diseases. This is related to the unique physiological characteristics of women. The results of epidemiological surveys show that headaches related to menstruation account for about 20% of women's headaches.

2. There is a risk of gynecological inflammation. Irregular menstruation can cause serious harm to women's health, so women must pay attention to irregular menstruation. Menstrual irregularities may occur, such as menstrual arthritis, menstrual rash, menstrual toothache, menstrual asthma, endometrial displacement, cervicitis, etc.

3. It may cause female infertility. The World Health Organization shows that the prevalence of infertility in some areas of developing countries is as high as 30%, while the statistics in my country are 6%~10%. The pressure of study and employment has caused the childbearing age to rise, and as a result, the incidence of infertility has tended to rise. Irregular menstruation in women is also a direct cause of infertility.

4. Irregular menstruation will affect beauty. Many women become extremely anxious about their damaged appearance after having spots and acne on their faces. These spots and acne cannot be solved by cosmetics because they are reflections of pathological changes in the body. They are also external manifestations of irregular menstruation and some cancers, cirrhosis and other diseases. If these problems are not treated promptly and early, they will not only affect women's beauty, but also threaten their physical health. Therefore, if women have irregular menstruation, they must pay attention to it and deal with it in time.
