The reasons why menstruation is delayed need attention

Normal menstruation comes at a fixed time every month. For some women, the timing may be slightly irregular. It is common for menstruation to come early or late, which is nothing to worry about. However, if you are not pregnant but your menstruation has not come, you need to pay attention to it. What are the reasons for delayed menstruation?

Causes of missed menstruation

1. Pregnancy

Ten days after the menstruation is delayed, you can use the early pregnancy test paper to test the urine. If it is positive, you are likely to be pregnant. If it is negative, the opposite is true. But if you are pregnant, there will be other symptoms such as nausea, breast tenderness, etc. Of course, the last resort is to do a B-ultrasound examination.

2. Side effects of drugs

If endocrine disorders occur after taking contraceptives, menstruation may be delayed. Central dopamine receptors are inhibited, resulting in a decrease in the amount of hypothalamic release factors entering the anterior pituitary. As a result, the anterior pituitary secretes less gonadotropin and corticotropin, leading to amenorrhea and delayed ovulation.

3. Caused by surgery

Intrauterine surgery can cause cervical adhesions, which can lead to menstrual blood stasis and thus delay menstruation.

4. Others

Such as psychological factors such as mental tension, stress, environmental changes, and some diseases that affect endocrine system. Can cause delayed menstruation.

5. Endocrine disorders , such as hyperadrenocorticism, and patients with chronic diseases such as anemia, tuberculosis, nephritis, diabetes and other diseases. Experts say that the above diseases, in addition to endangering physical health, are also common causes of amenorrhea.

6.

When treating this disease, the main focus should be on regulating the spleen and kidneys. When qi and blood are replenished, menstruation will return to normal.

7. When women suffer from pituitary diseases, such as pituitary dysfunction, pituitary tumor disease, etc. As well as ovarian lesions, common diseases include ovarian cysts and ovarian hypoplasia, which are common causes of amenorrhea. It is very important to receive timely treatment at this time.
