What should I do if my period is late?

Late menstruation is caused by endocrine abnormalities, polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothyroidism, etc. You can follow the doctor's advice, identify the cause, and choose the appropriate method for targeted treatment.

1. Endocrine abnormalities:

If you are under mental stress for a long time, it will easily affect your nervous system, causing changes in hormone levels and leading to delayed menstruation. At this time, patients can participate in more outdoor activities to help strengthen their bodies, increase resistance, improve sleep habits, and effectively alleviate endocrine disorders.

2. Polycystic ovary syndrome:

It is usually related to eating habits and other factors. If the patient likes to eat sweets and fried foods for a long time, such as fried dough sticks and cream cakes, it is easy to cause metabolic disorders in the body, and symptoms such as abnormal menstruation, abnormal ovulation, hair loss, and acne will occur. At this time, under the guidance of a doctor, drugs such as spironolactone tablets, dydrogesterone tablets, and clomiphene citrate tablets can be used.

3. Hypothyroidism

If the patient is in a place with high iodine content for a long time and is easily exposed to and eats iodine-rich foods, it will lead to a decrease in thyroid hormone synthesis, thereby affecting ovulation and causing menstrual abnormalities. At this time, thyroid tablets, levothyroxine sodium tablets, methimazole tablets and other drugs can be used for treatment according to the doctor's advice.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by diseases such as hyperprolactinemia. Patients are advised to have regular check-ups and monitor their condition to avoid missing the best treatment time.
