Whether the period occurs every month on the exact day or with slight fluctuations, as soon as it is late, many women think they are pregnant

Panic occurs if they know they are not pregnant but want to be - their first thought is that there is a problem that requires a visit to the doctor.


There are many factors that can affect a woman's cycle. Have you had a lot of stress in the last few weeks? Or suffering from a bad cold? These and other things can cause you to miss your period for a short time.

These are some of the reasons for the lack of menstruation that do not imply the simultaneous presence of a serious health problem, Telegrafi reports.

Hormonal fluctuations are one of the most common causes of late periods. For example, a lack of female hormones or an excess of male hormones can lead to a lack of menstruation.

There are many possible reasons why this imbalance occurs - for example, autoimmune diseases or changes in the ovaries. Other hormones, which at first glance have no connection with the cycle, may be responsible. Thyroid hormones play a particularly important role.

Irregular use of birth control pills is one of the causes of lack of cycles. If you stop taking the pill, it takes some time for the body to return to its natural cycle. This can sometimes take more than a year. Stress can be a trigger for missing periods. The psyche has a great influence on the processes in our body. Stress at work, family problems, worries, fears and difficulties affect us: stress hormones act on hormones that affect the cycle.

Menstruation stops if our daily routine changes frequently: working the night shift, night games, insufficient sleep, waking up early - all this confuses the body.

Fluctuations in body weight affect the cycle, especially if you lose a lot of weight. Here too, the body reacts and ultimately, a lack of body weight is not a good basis for a healthy pregnancy. Infections are causes of a lack of menstruation: if you have been sick in the middle of your cycle, your periods may be slightly delayed. The body was exhausted from coping with the illness and had to fight against viruses and bacteria.

Professional sports are the cause of irregular periods. This is due to the extreme physical demands that burden the body and can cause the cessation of menstruation. /Telegraph/
