Under normal circumstances, women's menstrual cycles are very regular and generally do not experience delayed periods. But sometimes due to various reasons, many women's menstrual periods may be delayed. So, is it normal for menstrual periods to be delayed by two months? If it's not normal, what is the reason behind it?
Not having menstruation for 2 months is most likely a sign of pregnancy, but it may also be related to our emotions, lifestyle habits, and other factors. Next, we will introduce several situations that can cause menstrual disorders.
1. Pregnancy: If a woman who has had sexual intercourse recently discovers that she has not had her period for 2 months, it is necessary to verify whether she is pregnant. Because 'amenorrhea' is the first sign of pregnancy, if you have not had sexual intercourse or have already undergone a pregnancy test, then consider other factors.
2. Abnormal emotions, such as long-term mental depression, mental tension, or significant mental stimulation and trauma, can lead to menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, and amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is formed by the action of hormones secreted by the ovaries on the endometrium, and the secretion of hormones by the ovaries is controlled by the release of hormones from the pituitary and hypothalamus. Therefore, any abnormal function of the ovaries, pituitary, or hypothalamus can affect menstruation.
3. Cold stimulation during menstruation can cause excessive constriction of blood vessels in the pelvic cavity, leading to delayed menstruation. Therefore, women should pay attention to preventing cold and dampness during menstruation in their daily lives.
4. Girls need at least 17% of their body weight to have menarche, and at least 22% of their body weight to maintain a normal menstrual cycle. Excessive dieting, due to insufficient energy intake in the body, results in the consumption of a large amount of fat and protein, leading to a significant deficiency in estrogen synthesis and affecting menstrual flow, resulting in sparse or absent periods. Therefore, women who pursue a slim figure should not blindly diet.
5. Some components in cigarettes and alcohol can interfere with physiological processes related to menstruation, causing menstrual disorders. 25% to 32% of women who smoke and drink excessively seek medical treatment due to menstrual cramps. Among the women who smoke more than one pack a day or drink more than 100 ml of high level Baijiu every day, menstrual disorders are three times that of non-smoking and drinking women. Therefore, women should not smoke and drink less alcohol.
Through the introduction in this article, it can be known that delaying menstruation by two months is certainly abnormal. Once this situation occurs, it is necessary to immediately find the cause and take active measures to deal with it, otherwise it may lead to even greater problems with menstruation. As a woman whose menstrual cycle is delayed by two months, you can refer to these reasons in this article.
