As we all know, women of childbearing age release a mature egg every month, so that the egg and sperm can meet and combine to form a fertilized egg and develop into a fetus. Therefore, women with a healthy menstrual cycle are one of the reasons for normal pregnancy. So what are the reasons for delayed menstruation in women, and what should be done if menstruation is delayed?
Reason for delayed menstruation
1. Pregnant. If a woman of childbearing age has had sexual intercourse before and her menstrual cycle is delayed by more than a week, she should consider whether she is pregnant.
2. Drug factors. Long term use of birth control pills, emergency birth control pills, gastric motility drugs, and medications for treating hyperthyroidism can all cause menstrual delay.
3. Psychological factors. If women are too mentally tense and under excessive work pressure, it can lead to delayed menstruation, dysmenorrhea, and even amenorrhea.
4. Disease impact. Diseases such as cervical adhesions, premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovary syndrome, thyroid dysfunction, chronic hepatitis, tumors, and severe iron deficiency anemia can all lead to delayed menstruation.
5. Changes in lifestyle habits or living environment. Unhealthy lifestyle habits such as staying up late, excessive dieting, smoking and drinking, and indulging in raw and cold foods have a significant impact on women's menstrual cycle. In addition, changes in living environment may also cause menstrual delays.
