Causes of delay in menstruation.

Menstruation cycle of women on average lasts 21-28 days. During this time, the uterus, ovaries, mammary glands and endocrine system undergo a number of changes that are related to the preparation for pregnancy. The thing is that the main female function is a reproductive function, which means that everything in the female body is directed towards the emergence and maintenance of pregnancy.

Let's return to the menstrual cycle. Desquamation or rejection of the endometrium - directly monthly. This is the beginning of the menstrual cycle. This process occurs under the action of pituitary hormones and ovaries, only if there is no pregnancy.

After the epithelium is severed, the proliferation phase begins; Updating the new epithelium and preparing for the anticipated pregnancy. On the 14-16th day of the cycle, the epithelium reaches a sufficiently large size, and at the same time, ovulation should occur. If the pregnancy does not occur again, on the twenty -third day of the cycle, desquamation of the epithelium occurs again.

If there was a delay in menstruation, then its reasons, in the first place, you need to "look" in the uterus, perhaps a woman is pregnant. After carrying out a number of diagnostic tests (currently a large number of them) and excluding the diagnosis of pregnancy, you can proceed to the next stage of diagnostic search for the absence of menstruation.

The reasons for the delay can be the most banal - an incorrectly calculated menstrual cycle. And in our time there are still women and girls who do not know how to correctly determine the day of menstruation. In this case, the doctor must first ask the patient, find out the beginning and end of the menstrual cycle in the last three months and determine the day of the expected menstruation in this cycle. Next, it is necessary to explain to a woman how to use the menstrual calendar and give her advice after the following menstruation.

However, the reasons for the delay are not always so harmless. Inflammatory diseases of the uterine cavity and appendages are often the cause of the irregular female cycle. Chronic and latent processes violate not only the neurohumoral connection between target organs, but also contribute to the formation of an organic endometrial failure. It becomes thin and untenable, so menstruation can manifest as a daub in 1-2 days. Treatment will be aimed at eliminating the underlying disease and general strengthening of the body.

In today's world of stress and bad ecology, the reasons for the delay in menstruation can be hidden under depression, chronic fatigue, nervous overstrain. Women should not forget that peace is the guarantee of health.

Often you can see a picture of an irregular menstrual cycle against extragenital pathology. The reasons for the delay in this situation are: cold, flu, general hypothermia. The task of a gynecologist is to correctly explain this situation to a woman and to assure her of the unjustified treatment of the reproductive system, after all, after the elimination of the underlying disease, the cycle is normalized.

If the delay of the monthly is more than 3 months, then this is a serious situation, the causes of which must be sought in the endocrine pathology. It should be noted that the imbalance of hormones of the gonads and thyroid gland, very often leads to severe pathology of the reproductive female system. Dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, irregular monthly - all these are the causes of endocrinological problems. In this situation, it is necessary to donate blood to hormones and conduct a full diagnostic examination of a woman (to rule out another pathology). If the matter is in hormones, the doctor will prescribe hormonal preparations taking into account the existing disorders. In no case do not try to treat such a disease yourself - it can cause even greater damage to the body.

Sometimes a delay, the causes of which in rapid weight loss or inadequate nutrition, can also lead to cycle failure.
