What does delayed menstruation have to do with?

We all know that many women in life will experience delayed menstruation. There are indeed many reasons for delayed menstruation. No matter which one it is, it is a manifestation of female gynecological disease. Therefore, if women have irregular menstruation, they should see a gynecologist in time. If necessary, they can take some Chinese medicine for conditioning, which can make the condition get better faster. So what is delayed menstruation related to?

Reasons for delayed menstruation

1. Pregnancy: Generally, pregnancy can be detected 7 days after intercourse. If a woman of childbearing age has had sexual intercourse before and her period is delayed for more than a week, she should consider whether she is pregnant. There are many ways to determine whether you are pregnant. Early pregnancy test strips are often used to determine it. In order to know accurately whether you are pregnant, you can go to the hospital for a blood HCG test.

2. Drug factors: Studies have shown that long-term use of birth control pills, emergency contraceptive pills, the gastrokinetic drug metoclopramide, drugs for the treatment of hyperthyroidism, and the Chinese medicine tripterygium wilfordii glycosides can all cause delayed menstruation. For certain medications that may cause delayed menstruation, they should be taken reasonably under the guidance of a doctor if the need for treatment is ruled out.

3. Mental factors: Delayed menstruation is mostly related to mental stress. If a woman is too nervous or under too much work pressure, it may lead to delayed menstruation, dysmenorrhea, or even amenorrhea. Some women may experience abdominal distension, back pain, etc. during their menstrual period. These are all normal and there is no need to be overly nervous.

4. Influence of diseases: Menstrual conditions are closely related to women’s physical health. Diseases such as cervical adhesions, premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovary syndrome, abnormal thyroid function, chronic hepatitis, tumors, severe iron deficiency anemia, etc. can all lead to delayed menstruation.

5. Changes in lifestyle habits or living environment: Bad lifestyle habits such as staying up late, excessive dieting, addiction to smoking and drinking, and greed for raw and cold food have a great impact on women's menstruation. Only a healthy lifestyle can keep your menstruation regular. In addition, changes in living environment may also affect the arrival of menstruation. For example, colder weather may cause menstruation to be delayed.

6. Impact of surgery: Surgery is also a major reason, the most common of which is abortion. Under the effects of various drugs and instruments, the endometrial wall cannot recover in a short period of time and it is difficult to work normally. In addition, uterine surgery can cause menstrual blood to remain in the body, making it difficult to discharge, ultimately leading to amenorrhea.
