No monthly - the norm or diagnosis?

The menstrual cycle has a characteristic feature - regularity. A healthy woman comes on a monthly basis on average after 25 days, the norm is a cycle of three to four weeks. Also, small delays are permissible - up to 5 days, but only in rare cases. As a rule, during the avitaminosis in spring, many women lose the cycle and they observe the absence of menstruation, which is also considered the norm. In other cases, irregular menstruation should be alarming.

The reasons for the delay

1. The most common reason for the absence of menstruation is pregnancy. To exclude successful conception it is possible only in the event that for last month there was no sexual life. In other cases it is worth making a test. Relying on contraceptives is not necessary, they do not give 100% guarantee, about 3% of the probability of getting pregnant still remains.

2. The second reason is an inflammation of the appendages (adnexitis). Absence of menstruation is the main symptom of this disease. Prisuschi will also have severe pain in the abdomen or in the side, in the lower back, yellow discharge from the vagina. To make a diagnosis, you need to make an ultrasound, after which you must always contact a gynecologist for treatment. It is worth noting that it is the adnexitis in most cases that leads to infertility.

3. The cyst on the internal reproductive organs is the third reason. Absence of monthly provokes so-called cyst of a yellow body. Together with this, a woman during menstruation is tormented by severe pain.

4. Climax. During the menopause, a woman begins to lose the cycle. Monthly may be absent for months. It is believed that if menstruation does not occur in a year, then it will never be.

5. Other female diseases - endometriosis, cervical erosion, adhesions, cancer, infections can also disrupt the cycle.

After abortion

Medical or surgical abortion imposes an unpleasant imprint on a woman's health. The safest consequence is a cycle violation. Absence of a period after abortion is considered the norm due to a hormonal failure in the body. It should not last more than three months. In this case, menstruation will still come with a maximum delay of two weeks. If the period increases, it is necessary to get a specialist consultation. It is possible that the embryo has not been removed to the end or as a result of the operation, organs are damaged.

After childbirth

The absence of a period after birth is considered the norm. The first time in the childbirth are lochia - the thickening of blood from the uterus. They can last up to one and a half months, after which they stop. If a woman does not breast-feed, then immediately come monthly. In the case of breastfeeding, ideally, menstruation will occur only after the cessation of lactation. However, each female body has an individuality, so the menstrual period can begin right after lop-dog.

Separately it is worth noting that after birth for the first time the absence of menstruation should not frighten the woman in childbirth. The organism needs time to regain its strength and hormonal level to regulate the onset of menstruation.

A prolonged delay in a negative test is the reason for contacting a gynecologist. The disease must be eradicated at the very beginning, in order not to suffer consequences and complications.
