1, it is normal to delay menstruation for a few days.
The menstrual cycle of women is generally 28 ~ 30 days. It is within the normal range to advance or postpone for about 7 days, and the cycle length varies from person to person. But if you haven't menstruated for more than 7 days, it is delayed menstruation.
Women with normal menstruation and sexual life in the past, with delayed menstruation 10 days, are likely to be pregnant. You can make your own early pregnancy test paper, or go to the hospital to take blood for HCG test to determine whether you are pregnant. Menstruation can provide a signal to identify women's physical condition, so it is necessary to know the main reasons for their delayed menstruation. There are many reasons for delaying menstruation. Female friends should care about themselves and pay more attention to whether their menstruation comes as scheduled.
2. Causes of delayed menstruation
1, pregnant
Female friends will stop menstruating after pregnancy. Female friends can take an early pregnancy test after menstruation is postponed. The easiest way is to test yourself with early pregnancy test paper, or you can go to a regular hospital for blood HCG test. So how many days is menstruation delayed to be pregnant?
Pregnancy can lead to delayed menstruation and the following symptoms
A. The breast has tingling, swelling and itching: The breast has tingling, swelling and itching, which is a physiological phenomenon in the early pregnancy. In addition, there will be changes such as dark areola color, obvious inferior mammary vein and obvious nipple protrusion.
B. Often feel nausea and vomiting: Almost many pregnant women in the early pregnancy often feel nausea and vomiting, especially at the beginning of the day. These symptoms vary from person to person. Some people's symptoms are quite mild, while others are very serious. Unless you are seriously ill, vomiting and need to see a doctor, these are normal phenomena in the early pregnancy.
C. changes in skin color: pigmentation of the skin or stretch marks on the abdominal wall may occur, especially in the third trimester of pregnancy.
D. Frequent urination: In the third month of pregnancy, due to the compression of the bladder by the expanding uterus, the bladder volume becomes smaller and frequent urination occurs.
E. easy to get tired: easy to get tired in the early pregnancy and often want to sleep.
2. Postponement of menstruation in adolescent girls
The most common cause is anovulatory menstrual disorder caused by the imperfect adjustment function of thalamus-pituitary-ovary axis. It is characterized by rare menstruation, irregular menstruation and prolonged menstruation after a short pause. With the increase of age, the symptoms will gradually ease after the gonadal axis matures, but those with severe symptoms still need treatment.
3. Drug reasons
Sometimes when I go to see a doctor, when the doctor is taking medicine, I will ask: Is this month's holiday coming? This sentence is not casually asked, because some drugs will affect the menstrual cycle, so doctors need to know your menstrual period. For example, birth control pills can also affect menstruation, sometimes delayed and sometimes advanced. However, I suggest that you don't often take drugs that affect menstruation. Eating too much will have a great influence on your health.
4. Malnutrition
Sometimes lack of nutrition in the body can also lead to delayed menstruation. What can I eat after menstruation is postponed? At this time, you need to eat some nutrition or supplements to urge menstruation. This situation is actually very good. Usually, we should supplement nutrition well and make it up in time. Especially after menstruation, the loss of nutrition is more, and nutrition needs to be supplemented, so that it will not affect the next menstrual time.
5. Poor spirit
A good mood is good for your health, that's right! Nowadays, social pressure and study pressure are increasing, but this leads to endocrine disorders of many girls, which can easily lead to delayed menstruation. So sometimes menstruation is delayed, so we should reflect on whether it is caused by mental factors. If so, we need to adjust our mentality.
6, dieting to lose weight
Nowadays, girls are increasingly pursuing exquisite figure, so they often take more extreme methods to lose weight: dieting or taking diet pills. Such consequences can easily lead to malnutrition and side effects of drugs, and also affect menstrual delay. Therefore, girls are advised not to neglect their health because of losing weight.
7. Gynecological diseases lead to delayed menstruation.
A. Cervical adhesion: There is menstrual blood, but because the adhesion cannot be discharged from the cervix normally, the patient will have periodic abdominal pain. B-ultrasound examination found that there is also a dark area in the uterine cavity, and it is often necessary to go to the hospital for cervical dilatation. This situation will lead to endometriosis if it is not improved in time.
B. premature ovarian failure: it is caused by abnormal ovarian function. Often manifested as delayed menstruation, sparse hair, amenorrhea, infertility. There may be similar menopausal symptoms such as dryness of female private parts, difficulty in sleeping together, hot flashes and insomnia.
C. Polycystic ovary syndrome: it has three characteristics: anovulation, obesity and hirsutism, in addition to scanty menstruation. This disease not only causes irregular menstruation and infertility, but also increases the risk of hypertension, diabetes and endometrial cancer.
D. thyroid dysfunction: it seems that thyroid problems are more common in women. Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism will affect menstruation. In hyperthyroidism, the number of menstruation decreases, the amount of menstruation decreases, and the interval between menstruation becomes longer. When thyroid function is low, menstrual blood will increase and bleeding time will be long, but patients with chronic illness have less menstrual flow or even no menstruation.
In short, if women have delayed menstruation, it is best to rule out pregnancy and some disease factors first, so as to feel at ease. Of course, if menstruation is delayed and irregular, it is best to adjust it. Delayed menstruation may affect future pregnancy.
3. Precautions during menstruation
1, not suitable for sex.
During menstruation, the cervix is slightly open, which easily brings germs around vulva and perineum into women's private parts, cervix and even uterus, causing endometritis or acute adnexitis (including fallopian tubes and ovaries) and pelvic peritonitis. In addition, menstrual intercourse may also lead to the return of exfoliated endometrium to the pelvic cavity, causing endometriosis. The above diseases may lead to increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period and dysmenorrhea.
2, should not be strenuous exercise
Exercise is not absolutely forbidden during menstruation, but strenuous exercise, such as high jump and running, should be avoided as far as possible, otherwise it will aggravate menstrual discomfort, such as backache and even cause dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorder. Avoid swimming during menstruation, because the cervix is slightly open during menstruation, bacteria are easy to invade the uterine cavity, increase the chance of infection and cause various gynecological inflammations, so don't swim during menstruation.
3, should not eat cold, salty food.
Eating cold food or drinking cold drinks during menstruation will affect the contraction of the uterus, leading to poor menstrual blood discharge and dysmenorrhea. In addition, due to the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone during menstruation, water and sodium retention and excessive antidiuretic hormone, many women tend to become irritable and anxious. If you eat salty food, it will aggravate water and sodium retention, leading to headaches, edema and other problems.
4. Avoid drinking alcohol and drinking strong tea and coffee.
During menstruation, the proportion of hangover enzymes in women decreases, and the ability to decompose alcohol decreases accordingly. Drinking a lot at this time is not only easier to get drunk than usual, but also it is difficult for alcohol to be excreted and left in the body, causing harm. However, strong tea and coffee contain high caffeine, which can easily lead to dysmenorrhea, prolonged menstrual period or excessive bleeding. At the same time, tannic acid in tea combines with iron in food in the intestine, which further affects the absorption of iron and causes anemia and other problems.
5. It is not advisable to eat drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
Use drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis with caution during menstruation, otherwise it will easily increase menstrual flow and even cause menstrual bleeding or anemia.
6. It is not advisable to take a bath or soak in hot springs.
Because the cervix is slightly open during menstruation, if the lower body is soaked in water, pathogenic bacteria in the water can enter the uterine cavity through the female private parts, causing inflammation. In addition, within three days after the end of menstruation, the cervix is still not completely closed, so it is not appropriate to take a bath during this time.
7. It is not advisable to beat the waist and extract teeth.
Many women will have backache during menstruation and often pat them habitually to relieve symptoms. The vibration stimulation caused by waist pounding during menstruation is not conducive to the repair of endometrium, and it will also lead to further congestion of pelvic cavity and accelerated blood flow, which will lead to an increase in menstrual flow and lead to menorrhagia or prolonged menstruation. If the low back is still painful during menstruation, there may be gynecological diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease and cervicitis. It is recommended to seek medical diagnosis.
It is not advisable to extract teeth during menstruation. In order to discharge menstrual blood smoothly, the number of platelets in women will decrease, so the coagulation is lower than usual. At this time, tooth extraction will cause more bleeding, easily lead to infection, and also lead to problems such as the wound is not easy to heal.
8. It is not advisable to wear tights.
If you wear tights during menstruation, the capillaries in the relevant parts will be compressed, affecting blood microcirculation and causing local edema. In addition, tight pants will also increase perineal friction, which is easy to cause pericoronitis. It is recommended to wear cotton underwear with good permeability and strong hygroscopicity during menstruation, and wear it as loosely as possible.
9. It is not advisable to sing loudly.
Due to the influence of endocrine, many women will be in a bad mood during menstruation, and some women may choose to sing K to vent. However, it is often inappropriate to sing loudly during menstruation, because singing loudly during menstruation is easy to cause congestion and edema of vocal cords capillaries, and vocal cords are fragile, which is easy to rupture vocal cords capillaries, leading to hoarseness or even loss of voice.
