What should I do if I haven't had my period for two months?

Although menstruation is a very troublesome thing for women, it will be even more troublesome if menstruation stops one day. Menstruation is generally very regular, and it is normal to be delayed or advanced by a few days. However, if it has not come for two months, you should pay attention to it. There are many reasons for this, and you need to understand the situation and solve it accordingly. So, what should I do if I haven’t had my period for two months? Let’s take a look below.

1. Pregnancy: If a woman who has had sexual activity recently finds that she has not had her period for 2 months, she should check whether she is pregnant. Because "menopause" is the first sign of pregnancy. If you have not had sexual intercourse or have tested pregnancy, then consider other factors.

2. Abnormal emotions, 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.

3. When women are exposed to cold during menstruation, the blood vessels in the pelvis will contract excessively, leading to delayed menstruation. Therefore, women should pay attention to preventing cold and avoiding dampness during menstruation in their daily life.

4. 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 and causing scanty menstruation or amenorrhea. Therefore, women who pursue a slim figure must not diet blindly.

5. 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 amenorrhea. 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.

We will introduce some adjustment methods to cope with it.

1. Pregnancy test: Women who have had sexual intercourse in the last two months should take a pregnancy test in time to confirm whether they are pregnant. Female friends can choose to test themselves with pregnancy test sticks, but for the sake of accuracy, it is best to go to the hospital for examination. If your missed period is not caused by pregnancy, you can take the following measures.

2. Adjust your mentality: Some patients who do not have menstruation do so due to mental frustration or stress, so it is very important to maintain a good mentality.

3. Eat more iron-containing and nourishing foods: If a woman's body is in a state of malnutrition, it is easy to cause irregular menstruation. Therefore, women should also have a reasonable diet in their daily life, avoid excessive weight loss, and supplement enough iron to avoid iron deficiency anemia.

4. Maintain good living habits: Female friends should avoid staying up late, overwork, irregular life, etc. These problems will lead to amenorrhea. Therefore, it is also important to maintain a good living habit.

5. To relieve mental stress, you can engage in some whole-body exercises, such as swimming and running, once or twice a week, 30 minutes each time.

6. Keep warm. If women catch a cold during menstruation, the blood vessels in the pelvis will constrict, leading to ovarian dysfunction, which can cause too little menstrual flow or even amenorrhea. So pay attention to keeping your body warm.
