Are you stressed about your period not coming? Have your periods
delayed this month? Are you looking for reasons for delayed periods?
There are many reasons for missed periods and they are influenced by
various factors like the following:
• Age
• Lifestyle disorder
• Hormonal imbalances
Let us look at the most common reasons for missed periods.

2. Age
Women in different age groups are influenced differently by their period
cycle. Young girls in their adolescence who have just started having their
periods, can experience hormonal changes in their bodies. Irregular
periods can be common as their period cycle has just started building.
Adult women might have various reasons for delayed periods that we will
discuss later in the segment. One major reason can be pregnancy, or
another could be incomplete abortion, it can occur when medical abortion
is done using abortion pills, in both the cases they must consult a
gynecologist. Women above the age of 45 might miss their period as they
have hit menopause and they could be seeing irregular or delayed periods.

3. Lifestyle Disorder
Changes in lifestyle and taking up poor habits in daily life like the
following:
• Disturbed sleep cycle
• Unhealthy diets
• Stress
• Consuming alcohol
• Having an inactive routine
All these can be the reason for the period not coming. This not only causes
irregular periods but also leads to lifestyle disorders like PCOD OR PCOS.

4. Hormonal Imbalances
Imbalance in the hormones can be a major reason for missed periods irrespective
of the age groups. Hormonal imbalances can occur due to all the reasons
mentioned above or due to intake of abortion pills, which results in delayed
periods. If you see changes in your body like weight gain or loss, hair thinning,
insufficient sleep and delayed periods then you must consult the gynecologist as
these could be due to lack or rise of hormones in your body.
