A woman's menstruation is delayed for half a month

We know that many girls suffer from delayed menstruation. Generally, menstruation is delayed by 2-3 days. This is normal. There is no need to worry. Menstruation will still come normally and it will not affect your health. If your period is delayed for more than half a month, you should consider whether you are pregnant. If you are not pregnant, you should go to the hospital for examination. So, if a girl’s menstruation is delayed by half a month, is this normal? What are the precautions?

1. Pregnancy

During the normal menstrual cycle, if the menstruation is delayed for 7 days, you can use the "Early Pregnancy Test Strip" to test the urine. If the test is positive, it is very likely that you are pregnant. If the "Early Pregnancy Test Strip" is negative, then vice versa.

Generally, there are obvious pregnancy reactions in the early stages of pregnancy, such as nausea, breast tenderness, etc. The most reassuring way is to go directly to the hospital for examination.

2. Irregular menstruation

Delayed menstruation is the most common gynecological disease, and the symptoms are abnormal menstrual cycle or bleeding volume, or abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before and during menstruation. The cause of delayed menstruation may be organic disease or functional disorder.

Many systemic diseases such as blood disease, hypertension, liver disease, endocrine disease, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, reproductive tract infection, tumor, etc. may cause delayed menstruation.

3. Endocrine abnormalities

The most common clinical condition is polycystic ovary syndrome. If you have obesity, hirsutism, acne, infertility, etc., you should have an endocrine check. Once abnormalities are found, you should seek treatment as soon as possible. Premature ovarian failure can also lead to delayed menstruation.

4. Chronic diseases

Some chronic wasting diseases often lead to delayed menstruation due to nutritional deficiencies. Common ones include chronic hepatitis, tuberculosis, tumors, hypothyroidism, severe iron deficiency anemia, aplastic anemia, etc., which often cause delayed menstruation. The above diseases often have obvious symptoms, abnormalities can usually be detected, and they are not easily misdiagnosed.

Once the above diseases occur, the primary disease should be treated as soon as possible, and menstruation will resume naturally after the primary disease is cured.

5. Mental factors

If you suddenly experience excessive mental stress, grief, sadness, anger, heartbreak and other abnormal emotions, it will often lead to delayed menstruation. In such cases, the patient often suffers from breast pain, irritability, depression and discomfort. Such situations generally do not require treatment, but sometimes if menstruation is delayed, Chinese medicine can be taken for syndrome differentiation and conditioning.

6. Taking certain medications

Some drugs have side effects that often lead to delayed menstruation, which is often the common reason for menstruation to be delayed by half a month.

7. Surgery

If improper uterine surgery causes cervical adhesions and menstrual blood stasis, it may also delay menstruation.

8. Ovarian disease

For example, premature ovarian failure is often manifested as delayed menstruation, infrequent menstruation, amenorrhea and infertility.
