Does delayed menstruation require treatment?

It is not possible to directly determine whether delayed menstruation requires treatment. It should be determined based on the cause of delayed menstruation. If delayed menstruation is caused by factors such as taking contraceptives or pregnancy, treatment is generally not required. If delayed menstruation is caused by disease factors, treatment is required.

1. No treatment required:

If the patient has recently taken contraceptives, such as deoxyethinyl estradiol tablets, drospirenone ethinyl estradiol tablets, etc., these drugs contain a large amount of hormones, which can cause abnormal thickening of the endometrium after taking them, leading to short-term menstrual delays or the patient's menstrual delay is related to pregnancy. This is a normal phenomenon and generally does not require special treatment.

2. Treatment required:

There are many diseases that can cause delayed menstruation, such as endocrine disorders, pelvic inflammation, polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian cysts, hypothyroidism, etc. If the patient's delayed menstruation is caused by pathology, it is an abnormal phenomenon at this time, and the patient will also have symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, waist swelling, fatigue, loss of appetite, etc. If not treated in time, it is easy to cause further deterioration of the condition, so this situation usually requires treatment.

When a patient's menstruation is delayed, she should first go to the hospital in time to find out the cause of the delayed menstruation, and then actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
