what are some reasons for a missed period?

Question

im pretty regular and i know im not pregnant but ive missed my period by about 4 days and was wondering what are some reasons you miss a period

Answer 1

Missed periods


There are many reasons why you may stop having regular periods, including:

Pregnancy. Many women first discover they are pregnant when they do not begin their menstrual period as usual. Problems with pregnancy, such as an ectopic pregnancy, also can cause a missed period. This is especially true if you have had a tubal ligation.
Hormonal birth control methods, such as birth control pills or hormonal injections. Also, you may find that it takes your body several months to readjust to regular periods after you stop using birth control pills.
Other medications, such as chemotherapy or steroids.
Breast-feeding.
Low body weight or rapid weight loss.
Severe stress or lifestyle change.
Obesity. Missed or irregular periods are common in women who have a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or more.
Excessive exercise or participation in endurance sports.
Menopause. Missed or irregular periods may be the first sign that you are entering menopause. During the 2 to 5 years before menopause (perimenopause), you may notice that your periods are irregular.
Other, more serious causes of missed periods include tumors, pituitary disorders, and other glandular problems involving the ovaries, thyroid, or adrenal glands. These problems are rare.

If you are certain that you are not pregnant and you have no other symptoms, you can wait up to 3 months before consulting a health professional. Remember, you can still become pregnant even though you are not menstruating. Practice birth control if you do not wish to become pregnant.

Answer 2

Usually the first reason for missing a period brings to mind is pregnancy. However, your period may also be late due to other factors. Changes in hormone levels can delay a period. Stress is another reason. Rapid changes in weight can also affect your period. Being sick or moving can also affect your hormone levels and can cause your period to be delayed. However, if your period is delayed too long, that can be harmful for your uterus. The uterine lining should be discharged regularly (monthly). If not, the lining can build up and could become a more serious problem. You may want to see a doctor for a checkup if your period doesn't come down soon since they can run tests just a precautionary measure.
