What Causes Delayed Menstruation

Most common cause of delayed menstruation in reproducing women is unsuspected pregnancy. If this is not the cause then there are various reasons due to which the menstruation can be delayed. Those above 40 to 45 years can have delayed menstruation due to menopausal age. Menopause is stoppage of menstruation which is common after 40 to 45 years of age. Other than pregnancy and menopause, delayed menstruation can be due to a temporary hormonal imbalance, stress, depression, severe or chronic illness, excessive and extreme weight loss etc.

Other possible causes include disorders of the ovaries or uterus (polycystic ovary syndrome), in which there is imbalance of the sex hormones. Other cause can be endometriosis where the fragments of the tissue that normally lines the uterus are displaced and attached to the other pelvic organs.

Regular Menstruation Cycle

• Raw beet, beet juice or beet powder is very helpful in regulating all the menstrual problems.
• Diet that causes weight loss is to be completely avoided in under-weights.
• Alternate hot and cold sitz (sitting) baths stimulate pelvic circulation and thus promotes regular menstrual cycle.
