As we all know, every woman will have menstruation in her life, so many women have very regular menstruation, but there are also some women whose menstruation will be delayed for a few days, so they You may be curious about the occasional delay in your menstruation. So why is your period delayed for a few days? The editor will answer it for you below.

Why is menstruation delayed for a few days?

1. I am pregnant. This is the first thing you want to eliminate. Women of marriageable age who have a normal sexual life have the greatest possibility. You can use a pregnancy test stick to do an early pregnancy test when your period is about 15 days late. If two red bars appear, 99% of the time you are pregnant. If you are unmarried, have no boyfriend, and have no sex life, you can generally eliminate this factor directly.

2. Not acclimatized. This is caused by sudden changes in environmental factors. You from the south travel to the north for a week, and you find that your period does not come on time. This is partly due to the differences in climate and diet between the south and the north, and is also related to your own adaptability. The south is hot and humid, the north is dry and cold, and coupled with the differences in food culture, you can easily find your own discomfort.

3. Cold stimulation. The first is that cold weather causes delayed menstruation, so special attention should be paid to keeping the abdomen warm in the cold winter. The second is that diet causes delayed menstruation, mainly cold foods and frozen foods, which will cause coldness in your uterus, thus affecting the timely arrival of your menstruation. Therefore, you must avoid eating such foods one week before menstruation.

4. Lose weight and diet. In order to pursue a slim figure, many women blindly pursue weight loss at any cost. They regard fruits as their main meal and vegetables as their staple food, and do not eat meat or high-fat foods. In the long run, the body's functions will be destroyed due to insufficient nutritional intake, affecting the body's endocrine function, causing menstruation to be delayed or even amenorrhea. It is unscientific that dieting can help you lose weight. Like the editor, I can eat, sleep and still be slim.

5. Interference from tobacco and alcohol. I believe that some women also have a certain interest in tobacco and alcohol. Whether you do it voluntarily or forced, please always remember that enough is enough. The nicotine in tobacco and the alcohol in wine may cause endocrine disorders. In this way, your menstruation will also be disrupted. As a woman, I would like to advise you: please stay away from tobacco and alcohol.
