What are the reasons for delayed menstruation?

Delayed menstruation is a common clinical symptom, which means that the menstrual cycle is delayed by more than 7 days. It may be caused by pregnancy, negative emotions, menopause, endocrine disorders, gynecological diseases and other reasons.

Causes of delayed menstruation:

1. Pregnancy: Pregnancy is a common cause of delayed menstruation, because after pregnancy, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body will gradually increase, which will inhibit the development of new follicles and ovulation, and the endometrium will no longer shed periodically, so delayed menstruation will occur.

2. Negative emotions: If you are under too much stress in your daily life or are too anxious, it will affect the release of gonadotropin from the pituitary gland, which in turn affects luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, leading to abnormal ovulation and reduced progesterone synthesis, affecting the regular shedding of the endometrium during menstruation and causing delayed menstruation.

3. Menopause: As women age, their ovarian function gradually declines, which causes estrogen levels in the body to gradually decrease, resulting in delayed menstruation.

4. Endocrine disorders: If there is endocrine disorder, it will lead to abnormal hormone levels in the body, resulting in delayed menstruation. And long-term endocrine disorders will also affect the normal function of the ovaries, causing premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovary syndrome and other diseases, resulting in delayed menstruation.

5. Gynecological diseases: If you have gynecological diseases, such as endometritis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc., the stimulation of inflammatory factors will affect the normal shedding of the endometrium, resulting in delayed menstruation.

Things to note when your period is delayed:

When symptoms of delayed menstruation appear, you need to go to the hospital for a complete examination in time and cooperate with the doctor to receive correct treatment to reduce other complications.
