Are you struggling with your weight loss?

Today’s post is a little delayed one as due to certain issues we were not able to publish new posts last week. I had been thinking about talking to my readers regarding the side effects of being over weight and let me tell you from my personal experience that the worst one is delayed periods. So let us talk about weight loss struggles and delayed periods.

As we all know, ovaries release an egg during ovulation. This happens approximately every 28 days. When there is no fertilization of egg, period start around 14 days later. Generally among married women in India, missed period is considered one of main signs of pregnancy but there might be many other reasons for delayed periods.

By the way do you know that if a woman does not menstruate for 3 months continuously, this is known as amenorrhea which affects nearly 3–4 percent  of women in general.

In this post we will share some information about various reasons for delayed periods and how this problem can be controlled with the help of workable home remedies. Most of the women panic if menstrual cycle is delayed for more than 3-4 days. (Ask Indian moms about it… hahaha)

Inactivity

We have seen that happen during lockdown and Covid19 days when we were all struggling to continue with our regular activity levels. If you have a sedentary lifestyle, there are bright chances for the delay in periods. Inactivity is quite obvious reason for the same. Oh, so if you not a heavy workout person, then it’s high time you gear up with your regular walking schedules. Housewives who indulge in active house hold work or look after kids personally, workout automatically happens for them.

Stress

Now this one is the worst culprit especially among younger lot. Most of the working women are a big time victim of stress resulting in delayed periods. The well known fact is that during stress , our body reduces amount of the hormone that makes one menstruate. Thus it is very important to learn how to de-stress.

At work places the minor as well as major shift change can affect sleep time as well as relationship status.
