What is the reason for irregular menstruation and delayed menstruation?

Irregular menstruation is also one of the common diseases among women. Sometimes it is caused by gynecological diseases, and sometimes it is caused by too much work pressure. Various reasons lead to irregular menstruation or delayed menstruation. If your period is delayed, don't just panic. You can analyze the reasons yourself. If it happens frequently and irregularly, you can see a doctor. If there is nothing wrong with your body, then you should look for the problem in your daily living habits or current situation.

1. Abnormal emotions cause menstrual disorders

Emotional abnormalities, such as long-term mental depression, mental tension, or severe mental stimulation and psychological trauma, can lead to menstrual disorders or dysmenorrhea or amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is caused by the hormones secreted by the ovaries acting on the endometrium. The hormones secreted by the ovaries are controlled by the hormones released by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Therefore, any abnormality in the function of the ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus will affect menstruation.

2. Cold stimulation causes oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea

When women are exposed to cold during menstruation, the blood vessels in the pelvis will contract excessively, which can cause oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea. Therefore, women should pay attention to preventing cold and avoiding dampness during menstruation in their daily life.

3. Dieting causes irregular menstruation

A girl’s body fat must account for at least 17% of her body weight before she can have her first menstruation, and her body fat must reach at least 22% of her body weight to maintain a normal menstrual cycle. Excessive dieting will cause a large amount of fat and protein in the body to be consumed due to insufficient energy intake, resulting in estrogen synthesis disorders and obvious estrogen deficiency, affecting menstruation, or even causing scanty menstruation or amenorrhea. Therefore, women who pursue a slim figure must not diet blindly.

4. Smoking and drinking cause menstrual disorders

Certain ingredients and alcohol in cigarettes can interfere with physiological processes related to menstruation and cause menstrual disorders. Among women who smoke and drink excessively, 25% to 32% go to the hospital for treatment due to menstrual disorders. Among women who smoke more than one pack of cigarettes a day or drink more than 100 ml of strong liquor, the incidence of menstrual disorders is three times that of women who do not smoke or drink. Therefore, women should not smoke and drink less alcohol.

In daily life, you should develop good habits and not eat foods that are harmful to the body. Girls should not smoke or drink. Although it may excite you temporarily, it really does great harm to the body. Once the disease occurs, regret is useless. Girls should develop the habit of keeping themselves clean. Of course, a good and positive mood is also very important. If you have irregular menstruation, please check according to the above-mentioned issues.
