Otherwise, how could there be a delayed menstruation? So is the delayed menstruation phenomenon really caused by pregnancy? Below is an explanation of the causes of delayed menstruation, I hope it can help you find the right remedy.

1. Cold air enters the uterus: If women do not pay attention to keeping their abdomen and soles of the feet warm during menstruation, cold air will enter the uterus, which will slow down the flow of menstrual blood, resulting in delayed menstruation. In addition, if women often eat cold or cool foods during menstruation, such as cold drinks, watermelon, etc., this situation may also occur.

2. Endocrine disorders: staying up late, irregular work and rest, uncontrolled diet, excessive obesity or being too thin can all cause endocrine disorders in the human body, thereby affecting ovarian function and causing delayed menstruation. Not only that, if women suffer from diseases such as premature ovarian failure and polycystic ovary syndrome, they will also experience endocrine disorders and cause delayed menstruation.

3. Qi stagnation and blood stasis: This situation is mostly caused by the influence of emotions. Chinese medicine believes that the liver is responsible for the release of emotions and has the function of storing blood. If emotions cannot be vented, it will affect the liver function. If the liver qi cannot be vented, it will cause poor circulation of qi and blood. In this way, women will experience delayed menstruation.

4. Gynecological diseases: If a woman suffers from gynecological inflammation, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, oophoritis, etc., she may also experience delayed menstruation. If the disease is not cured, this phenomenon may accompany the patient for a long time and pose a great threat to human health, so it is necessary to seek treatment as early as possible.

The reason for delayed menstruation is as described above. If delayed menstruation occurs occasionally, menstruation can usually be restored to normal by adjusting your work and rest schedule, diet, mood, etc. If menstruation is often delayed, it is recommended that women go to the hospital as soon as possible to find out the cause to prevent serious diseases from occurring due to prolonged delays.
