Reasons for delayed menstruation in women

For women, the normal menstrual cycle should be once a month, but menstruation may sometimes be delayed. If it's delayed by a week or so, that's normal. However, if the menstrual period is delayed for too long, it means that the woman's body has developed a disease problem, and the cause must be found and examined and treated in time. What are the reasons for women’s delayed menstruation?

1. Pregnancy

This is the first thing you need to rule out. This possibility is greatest for women of married age who have a normal sex life. You can do an early pregnancy test with a pregnancy test stick about 15 days after your period is delayed.

2. Acclimatization

You are from the south and travel to the north for a week, and you find that your period has not arrived on time. This is partly due to the differences in climate and diet between the south and the north, and also has to do with your own adaptability.

3. Cold stimulation

The first is that the cold weather causes delayed menstruation, so special attention should be paid to keeping the abdomen warm in the cold winter. The second is that diet causes delayed menstruation, mainly cold food and frozen food, which will cause your uterus to be cold, thus affecting the timely arrival of your menstruation.

4. Dieting for weight loss

In order to pursue a slim figure, many women blindly pursue weight loss at any cost. If this continues for a long time, the body's functions will be damaged due to insufficient nutrition, affecting the body's endocrine function, causing delayed menstruation or even amenorrhea.

5. Interference from tobacco and alcohol

The nicotine in tobacco and the alcohol in wine may cause your endocrine system to become disrupted. This way, your menstrual period will also be disturbed. As a woman, please stay away from tobacco and alcohol.

6. Staying up late

Some young women, due to their youthful vigor, are keen on nightlife such as clubbing and karaoke, and fall asleep at home during the day. In this way, the reversal of day and night will affect the body's hormones and endocrine system, and may also cause menstrual disorders and delay the arrival of menstruation.

7. Side effects caused by drugs

There are many drugs that can cause delayed menstruation, and birth control pills are one of them. If you take birth control pills for a long time, your body's hormones will be affected, causing delayed menstruation or even amenorrhea.

8. Gynecological diseases

Many gynecological diseases such as cervical erosion, abnormal leucorrhea, vaginal bacterial infection, etc. can cause irregular menstruation. Only by curing your gynecological diseases can irregular menstruation and delayed menstruation be improved.

9. Negative emotions

Work pressure and life pressure can cause women to feel uneasy, anxious and fearful, which can easily cause endocrine problems in women and affect the timely arrival of menstruation.
