Whether menstruation is normal or not represents a woman's health and is closely related to her fertility. Under normal circumstances, the menstrual cycle is from 28 to 35 days. It is normal for menstruation to be advanced or delayed by one week, but it should be taken seriously in the future if it exceeds 7 days.
What are the causes of female menstruation?
1. Pregnancy
Women who have normal sexual activity and have not taken any contraceptive measures are more than 60% likely to become pregnant. After menstruation stops for about 15 days, they should undergo a morning urine test with a pregnancy test stick. If two red sticks are found, the woman will become pregnant.
2. Cold stimulation
The weather is getting colder and colder now. If you don't keep your abdomen warm properly, it can lead to delayed menstruation. In addition, if you eat some cold and frozen food, it can cause women to have a cold uterus and prolong the onset of menstruation. In addition, if women always smoke and drink heavily, it can also affect their menstrual cycle, as the nicotine and alcohol contained in tobacco can disrupt women's endocrine system.
3. Staying up late
70% of women experience staying up late. Prolonged staying up late can disrupt their biological clock, have a significant impact on endocrine and body hormones, and not only cause skin diseases but also disrupt menstruation. In addition, losing weight can lead to insufficient nutrition, affect the body's endocrine system, delay menstruation, and amenorrhea.
4. Adverse emotions
When women experience excessive work and life pressure, it can cause fear and anxiety, which can lead to endocrine disorders and delayed menstruation over a long period of time. In addition, if women use contraceptive pills for a long time to prevent pregnancy, it can also lead to delayed menstruation or even amenorrhea.
5. Gynecological diseases
When women suffer from gynecological diseases, their menstrual periods are prolonged, and they should immediately go to the hospital for corresponding examinations to avoid delaying the optimal treatment time. In addition, if there is a sudden change in the living environment, menstruation will also be delayed.
What to do with delayed menstruation?
Female friends should eat more high fiber and protein foods, which can not only supplement the nutrients lost during menstruation, but also regulate the menstrual cycle, try not to eat caffeinated beverages, reduce sugar intake, increase blood sugar levels, affect emotions, and cause physical discomfort.
Warm Reminder
Women with delayed menstruation should choose a hospital for corresponding examinations, adjust their diet, eat more high fiber and protein foods, pay attention to sexual hygiene, and reduce prolonged sitting time.
