Why the Delay in Menstrual Cycle?
Patient Query

Hello Doctor,

Why haven't I menstruated in a month, despite never missing a period? Three negative pregnancy tests after unprotected sex and a change in gym attendance what could be causing the delay?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

1.Stress: Emotional or physical stress can impact the regularity of menstrual cycles. Changes in gym attendance or intense physical exercise can contribute to stress on the body.

2.Changes in Exercise Routine: A sudden change in your exercise routine, including increased intensity or frequency, can affect hormonal balance and menstrual cycles.

3.Weight Changes: Significant weight loss or gain can disrupt hormonal balance and lead to irregular menstrual cycles.

4.Hormonal Imbalance: Fluctuations in hormones, such as those related to thyroid function or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can affect menstruation.

5.Medication: Some medications can impact menstrual cycles. If you've started or stopped any medication recently, it may be a contributing factor.

Thanks
