Menstrual Delay of Eighteen Days with Negative Pregnancy Test
A menstrual delay of eighteen days, accompanied by two negative pregnancy tests, typically indicates menstrual irregularity. It may also be caused by abnormal ovarian function or uterine fibroids. A B-ultrasound examination at the hospital can be conducted, and treatment will be based on the test results. Here are the potential causes and corresponding treatments:
1. Menstrual Irregularity: Prolonged stay-ups or excessive mental stress can lead to endocrine disorders and menstrual irregularity. If menstrual irregularity is caused by excessive mental stress, it can be alleviated by improving lifestyle and dietary habits, ensuring sufficient sleep.
2. Abnormal Ovarian Function: Menstruation is mainly formed by the shedding of the endometrium. Abnormal ovarian function can lead to reduced estrogen secretion, causing menstrual disorders. In case of abnormal ovarian function, medications such as progesterone and estradiol can be prescribed for treatment under medical guidance.
3. Uterine Fibroids: Uterine fibroids can also affect menstruation, leading to delayed menstruation or increased menstrual blood volume. Symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue may also occur. Treatment for uterine fibroids involves undergoing a B-ultrasound examination at the hospital and removing the fibroids through surgical resection.
