What’s wrong with frequent “late” menstruation?

　　Therefore, for those of childbearing age female Regardless of your age, whether you have a normal sexual life or not, if you find that your menstruation is frequently "late", you need to be more vigilant and seek medical treatment in time to find out the cause.

　　Face pregnancy bravely examine

　　Generally speaking, menstruation that exceeds the previous cycle and is delayed is called amenorrhea, and menstruation that is more than 6 months is called amenorrhea. amenorrhea . Common causes of missed periods include pregnancy, Irregular menstruation , endocrine abnormalities, after tumor chemotherapy, etc.

　　If women with normal menstrual cycles experience missed periods, they should first remember the date of their last menstrual cramps, how many days they have missed their periods, and take a urine pregnancy test as soon as possible. At present, with the improvement of the sensitivity of reagents, pregnancy can be detected about 35 days after menopause. Once pregnancy is confirmed, further detailed examination should be carried out to determine whether it is intrauterine pregnancy or Ectopic pregnancy , and provide corresponding treatment for terminating the pregnancy or continuing the pregnancy. If an ectopic pregnancy is diagnosed, the Hospital Carry out relevant treatment.

　　Cycle length varies slightly

　　Menstruation refers to regular and cyclical Uterus Bleeding usually lasts for 28-30 days, and it is normal for it to occur about 7 days earlier or later. The length of the cycle varies from person to person, and every woman has her own pattern of menstrual cycles.

　　Once a woman has her period, she is considered to be fertile. Generally speaking, women between the ages of 18 and 45 have mature ovarian functions, cyclic ovulation and secretion of sex hormones, and are in the prime of fertility. After the age of 45, their ovarian function gradually decreases and they enter menopause.

　　Explore every possibility carefully

　　In addition to pregnancy, "late" menstruation in women is often related to abnormal regulation of sex hormones, that is, Menstrual disorders related. In adolescent women or women approaching menopause, due to imperfect or declining ovarian function, the secretion of ovarian sex hormones will be affected, causing abnormal regulation of estrogen and progesterone in the endometrium, and normal exfoliation and bleeding will not occur. At this time, the endometrium continues to grow under the influence of estrogen. Once estrogen cannot maintain the continued proliferation of the endometrium, continuous vaginal bleeding will occur.

　　It is worth noting that this kind of long-term irregular bleeding is prone to infection of the reproductive tract and leads to anemia occurrence. At the same time, long-term exposure to estrogen in the endometrium is prone to endometrial lesions, such as endometrial polyps and endometrial cancer. In addition, it should be noted that hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism and hormones secreted by pituitary tumors will also affect the secretion of ovarian hormones, causing menopause or amenorrhea. Therefore, for menopausal patients who have ruled out female endocrine abnormalities and pregnancy, attention should be paid to the detection of thyroid hormone and pituitary prolactin to determine the real cause of menopause.
