It is believed that missed or late periods are mainly due to pregnancy.
Truth is that missed or late periods can be due to many non-pregnancy reasons and could create issues in a woman. There are just 2 times in the life of a woman where the periods can be late, that is when the girl begins monarchy and when the woman reaches menopause stage.
As the woman’s body could go through lots of transitional changes, 21 to 35 day menstrual cycles are also regarded as healthy. It is known that most menstrual cycles last for a time of 28 days. More than the 35 days must be considered seriously.
Missed or late periods in a woman could be due to these reasons. They are
Hormonal changes:
It is said that hormonal changes in the woman is the biggest factor for the late or missed periods. It is said that issues like PCOD or PCOS could make a woman go without her periods for a longer time than normal. The hormonal imbalance could lead to cysts on the ovaries.
Stress:
Stress could lead to many health issues in us and this stress could also disrupt the regular menstrual cycle. A woman could be without her periods for 2 months also due to stress.
Anaemia:
In her reproductive age, a woman would get anaemia and iron deficiency etc. the flow of blood in the body gets affected due to the iron deficiency.
Low body weight:
Not many women know that having low body weight could come in the way of their monthly periods. Truth is that women having below par weight could suffer from missed periods or late periods.
Using birth control pills:
This is also one important reason for missed or late periods in a woman. It must be noted that these pills contain doses of oestrogen, progestin etc and could alter the normal functions of hormones. Truth is that the hormones released in the first 3 weeks especially to suppress fertility and delay the menstrual cycle. It is revealed that women who use patches as long time birth control pills would get delayed periods.
