There are several reasons why your periods might be late. Here are some common factors:
Stress: High levels of stress can affect your hormonal balance, leading to delayed or missed periods1.
Diet and Exercise: Extreme dieting or intense exercise can disrupt your menstrual cycle1.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): This hormonal disorder can cause irregular periods12.
Weight Changes: Sudden weight loss or gain can impact your cycle3.
Pregnancy: If there’s a possibility of pregnancy, this could be a reason for a missed period1.
Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions like thyroid disorders can also affect your menstrual cycle3.
If this pattern continues, it might be a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions. How have you been feeling otherwise? Any other symptoms or changes you’ve noticed?
Next Steps
Please Consult for further management
