When menstruation does not occur at the right time, almost every sexually mature representative of the gentle half of humanity begins to panic quietly.
The first (and most common) among the causes of delayed menstruation is considered to be the onset of pregnancy. This is not surprising, because it is the delayed menstruation that tells the woman that the egg has been fertilized inside her. If the delay of menstruation lasts 4 days, the reasons may be different, but a woman can already get a pregnancy test in the pharmacy and check if a small life really develops inside her.
Another of the most common causes of menstrual delays is a hormonal malfunction in a woman's body while taking birth control pills. It manifests itself in almost the same way as a pregnant woman
may even want to eat something spicy, and she will also experience
mood swings. In the case when the
delay is 10 months, the reasons may be different, but if the pregnancy test shows a negative result, you need to urgently see a doctor and make sure that pregnancy does not exist. A failure not stopped in time can lead to irreversible changes in a woman's body.
Among the causes of menstrual delays may be an inflammatory disease of the appendages. In this case, the delay may be accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen, reminiscent of intestinal colic, frequent trips to the toilet “little by little” and temperature. Sometimes the inflammatory process is almost asymptomatic, and this is fraught for a woman with complications that can lead to infertility. That is why it is important to consult a doctor in the early days of the delay, regardless of whether the test showed a positive result or not.
Menstruation may not occur due to a sexually transmitted disease. In this case, if, along with the delay, the woman is bothered by unpleasant vaginal discharge, itching, a pungent smell, as well as incomprehensible where the fatigue or headaches come from, she needs to immediately contact a gynecologist and pass all the necessary tests. If the delay is associated with an infection, a full course of conservative treatment should be prescribed by a doctor.
In addition to the above reasons for menstruation delays, there is also a delay caused by the woman’s stress. An emotional shock can lead to a temporary malfunction in the body of the representative of the weaker sex, which will result in temporary ovarian dysfunction and, as a result, the absence of menstruation.
The main advice for women who do not have menstruation is to immediately seek help from a gynecologist to ascertain the true causes of the problem. It is not worthwhile to conduct any research on your own (except for the test not determining the conception), as it is fraught with complications. It is important to establish the reason for the delay at the very beginning.
