Pregnancy is a known and obvious reason for a missed period. However if you haven't been sexually active, or have no risk of pregnancy, there are several other factors might cause missed or irregular periods. The following are some of the reasons for delayed periods
Stress Excessive stress, or even just stress, can have a big impact on the menstrual cycle and flow. Stress is a mental condition, and the hypothalamus (the gland that controls the hormones that regulate periods) is also located in the brain. As a result, as stress levels rise, so does the influence on the hypothalamus. This causes hormonal imbalance, which results in late/delayed periods.
Excessive exercise and rapid weight loss Are you overdoing it at the gym? One of the reasons you may be missing or having late periods is because of intense workouts and diets. It has a significant impact on the hormones that control menstruation in the body. Weight loss exercise and a calorie deficit diet are connected with a calorie burn. Excessive calorie and body fat loss can also happen from overdoing both. This calorie loss can also include the calories/energy that your body requires to function. Without enough energy, the body's performance, as well as reproductive functions, will begin to deteriorate.
Contraceptive Pills Combination birth control pills contain the hormones estrogen and progesterone which actually disturb female hormone levels. It produces hormones that prevent conception by preventing ovulation (release of an egg). Whether you're on the pill or have recently quit using it, your menstrual cycle will be affected. In theory, it takes a few weeks or months for you to resume regular periods
PCOS PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome, is a disorder that causes irregular periods, inability to ovulate, a higher than usual level of male hormones, and outward symptoms such as hair loss, acne, and male pattern baldness. One of the most common symptom of PCOS is a missed period.
Anaemia Anaemia and iron deficiency are frequent among women of reproductive age. Due to impaired blood flow in the body, iron deficiency or difficulties absorbing iron might cause a woman to miss her periods or have very late periods.
