What is the reason for delayed menstruation?

When menstruation is delayed, the first thing people consider is whether you are pregnant. If you are single, you should consider whether you have chronic diseases, whether you have taken medications that may affect menstruation, etc., or excessive fatigue, excessive dieting, etc. These reasons may all lead to delayed menstruation.

Pregnant:

If pregnancy occurs, menstruation stops. When the menstruation is due, it often does not come, and symptoms such as increased urination, changes in appetite, vomiting, and nausea occur. If women of childbearing age experience delayed menstruation, they should pay attention to whether they are pregnant.

Ovarian factors:

Polycystic ovary syndrome and premature ovarian failure can also cause delayed menstruation. Timely examinations should be carried out and treatment should be initiated as soon as abnormalities are found.

Common chronic diseases such as chronic hepatitis, tuberculosis, tumors, hypothyroidism, etc. often cause delayed menstruation due to nutritional deficiencies.

Taking birth control pills:

Sudden discontinuation of birth control pills, especially long-acting oral contraceptives, can cause menstrual disorders.

Excessive weight loss:

In order to control their weight, many women take weight loss drugs or go on an excessive diet, which leads to delayed menstruation. If this situation is short-lived, the normal menstrual cycle can be restored naturally. However, for those who persist for a long time, medication is often required to restore the normal menstrual cycle.

Surgical trauma:

Intrauterine surgery, abortion surgery, etc. can cause cervical adhesions and lead to menstrual blood stasis, thus delaying menstruation.

Mental reasons:

Excessive mental stress, abnormal emotions such as grief, sadness, anger, and broken love often lead to delayed menstruation. This situation often causes breast pain, irritability, depression and discomfort. Generally, no treatment is required, but sometimes menstruation is delayed and Chinese medicine can be taken for syndrome differentiation and conditioning.
