Hello Doctor,
What could be the reason for my late period?
Answered by Dr. Meenakshi Valliappan
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
There are several possible reasons for a late period. It could be due to pregnancy or breastfeeding, as they can affect menstrual cycles. Eating disorders, extreme weight loss, or excessive exercise can disrupt hormonal balance and lead to irregular periods. Additionally, certain medical conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, or hormonal imbalances may contribute to delayed menstruation. Stress and certain medications can also impact menstrual regularity.
Thanks
