Delayed periods do not always indicate pregnancy. Permissible fluctuations in the menstrual cycle are within five days. A delay over this period may be a symptom of any disease.
Instructions
Step 1
The cause of a long delay in menstruation may be an ovulatory anomaly. It can arise from hormone therapy, emotional shock, or acute inflammation.
Step 2
Changes in your birth control pill schedule can delay your period. While taking the pills and for several months after refusing them, there may be delays, cycle instability or a complete absence of menstruation at all. Your hormonal balance may be affected by an unexpected interruption in your cycle or taking an emergency contraceptive.
Step 3
Approximately seven percent of normal cycles are accompanied by endocrine changes that lead to dysfunction of the ovaries. For example, a follicular cyst of the corpus luteum or a cyst of a non-ovulated follicle, otherwise called LUF syndrome, may occur. If such formations live longer than usual, menstruation may be delayed. If the situation repeats several times in a row, that is, menstruation for no apparent reason is delayed cycle after cycle, you should immediately consult a doctor.
Step 4
Irregular periods and frequent delays can cause polycystic ovary disease. This is a disease characterized by hormone production disorders. Polycystic ovary disease interferes with ovulation.
Step 5
A variety of gynecological diseases can lead to delays in menstruation. Inflammation of the appendages, uterine fibroids (a benign tumor of the muscle walls of the uterus) and other diseases can cause significant delay. However, such diseases are most often accompanied by bleeding from the uterus.
Step 6
Due to damage to the hormonal balance or damage to the tissue of the uterus during the abortion process, problems with the regularity of menstruation can also arise.
Step 7
Any stress, both long-term exhausting and short-term, but intense, causes disruptions in the functioning of the brain structure, in particular, it affects the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, which regulate sexual activity. Chronic stress can cause menstruation to be delayed or even to stop.
Step 8
Losing weight very quickly can also cause cycle disruption. In general, losing weight too quickly threatens to disrupt most important processes in the body. The minimum weight of a woman, up to which menstruation simply does not occur, is set at forty-five to forty-seven kilograms.
Step 9
Intense physical activity can make adjustments to the usual cycle of menstruation. To avoid this kind of trouble, try to build up the load gradually.
