For women who have had sex without any contraceptive measures, if there is a delay in menstruation, and it will be accompanied by chest swelling and pain, as well as fatigue, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, or lower abdominal discomfort and other symptoms, it is best to go to the hospital for early pregnancy testing within about 7 days of menstruation delay, which is related to pregnancy.
The production of menstruation in women is due to the estrogen secreted by the ovaries, which stimulates the endometrium, resulting in periodic hyperplasia and shedding, resulting in a phenomenon. When a woman becomes pregnant, estrogen production from the ovaries is suppressed.
Moreover, the endometrium will continue to thicken and degenerate like changes, which will not make women continue to menstruate.
Second, drug factors
If women take contraceptives in their daily lives, then menstruation will also occur. Because most of the ingredients in the contraceptive pill are progesterone and estrogen. If women take birth control pills on a daily basis, hormone levels will change significantly.
Moreover, these hormone components will cause the ovaries and uterus to be stimulated relatively largely, and it is easy to have menstrual disorders. For example, the delay in menstruation, as well as weight gain, vaginal discharge, breast swelling and pain, repeated nausea, vomiting, bloating and other problems.

3. Endocrine factors
For women who live or work in their daily lives, study pressure is relatively large, and stay up late for a long time, or have some negative emotions for a long time, it is easy to lead to endocrine system disorders.

For example, there will be delays in menstruation, or changes in menstrual flow, accompanied by insomnia, repeated headaches and other problems.

Another major cause of delayed menstruation in women is related to disease factors.
For example, if you have tumors, hyperthyroidism, tuberculosis, hepatitis or anemia, as well as some gynecological diseases such as ovaries, uterus, and breasts, it will cause abnormalities in the endocrine in the body, which will affect menstruation. Problems such as delayed menstruation, changes in menstrual flow, and other systemic symptoms can occur.
All in all, if women have a delay in menstruation in their daily lives, it is generally related to the above 4 factors. In addition, if women have bad eating habits, such as long-term excessive dieting, it will make the body lack of various nutrients, resulting in delayed menstruation.
