Patient's question:
Your period is 18 days late. I took tests on the 12th and 16th of this month, and they were negative. In the past, I also had periods every 40-50 days. Is it because I'm sick, or is there something else? Since my first period at 13, my cycle has never been completely normal. I'm now 23 years old.Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can cause menstrual disorders. If you experience irregular menstruation, it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. The clinical manifestations of menstrual disorders are often diverse, some of which include irregular menstrual cycles, lack of regularity, and prolonged bleeding duration. Some are manifested as changes in the amount, quality, and color of menstrual blood, while others may present as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, or other pathological conditions. During the menstrual period, it is important to learn to relax both body and mind and regulate emotions. Long-term excessive stress can lead to dysfunction of the hypothalamus-pituitary axis and the central nervous system, making it easier to cause menstrual disorders. At the same time, excessive fatigue should also be avoided to prevent excessive pelvic congestion, which may result in increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual periods.
