Delayed menstruation can occur for various reasons, including the expense of physical and mental stress, disease, weight loss and so on, because the menstrual cycle - is the result of a joint "work" of the endocrine and nervous systems, which can change its activities by various reasons.

Woman's menstrual cycle

The menstrual cycle is different for every woman. But more often it lasts 28 days, decreasing in some cases up to 21 days and increasing to 35 days. The entire menstrual cycle is divided into three periods:

• oocyte maturation in the follicle (bubble) of the ovary (the first 15 days from the first day of menstruation), during this period the most active female sex hormone estrogen, which help to mature the egg;
• ovulation - rupture of the follicle and release of the egg from the ovary into the fallopian tubes; This usually occurs on the 15th day of the menstrual cycle The days of the menstrual cycle: Four phases   exposed to pituitary hormones (main endocrine gland, which is located in the brain), are included in the job when it becomes necessary in the blood level of estrogens;
• during corpus luteum - in place of the bursting of the follicle in the 16-17 day cycle formed by the corpus luteum, which begins to produce estrogen and progesterone, which are under the influence of the uterus prepares for pregnancy; If pregnancy does not occur, the corpus luteum stops its function, sex hormone level drops and 28-29 day begins rejection is already prepared to receive the embryo lining of the uterus, which is accompanied by bleeding (menstruation).

Menstruation is normal

In normal menstruation occurs on day 29 from the start of the last menstrual period, the same day as the first day of a new menstrual cycle. In just a few days before menstruation may appear slight pain in the lower abdomen, breast engorgement and some irritability Irritability - you try to control my temper . Menstrual bleeding lasts from three days to a week, the most intense bleeding is usually in the first three days, after which the discharge becomes negligible.

Why the delay may occur monthly

Delayed menstruation can occur when:

• menstrual disorders of central origin, for example, acute and chronic stress;
• disorders of the ovaries due to various reasons;
• after a traumatic effect on the mucous membrane of the uterus (after abortion, childbirth or surgery on the uterus).

At a delay menstruation over a week to see a doctor and find out the cause of this phenomenon.

Menstrual disorders of central origin

When stress, brain injuries, endocrine diseases, tumors, high physical activity (for example, during sporting events) and other influences may suffer and production of hormones that provide the work of the menstrual cycle. This primarily affected production of pituitary hormones (the main endocrine gland located in the brain), which contributes to delay ovulation, the follicle has matured. With the defeat of the hypothalamus (region of the brain responsible for the activities of the entire endocrine system) violated the regulation of ovarian follicular development ceases.

Menstrual disorders associated with the activity of the ovaries

Failures may occur at the level of the ovary. Under the influence of various factors (stress, common diseases, diseases of the female reproductive organs, tumors, harmful effects of metabolic disorders on a background of strict diets for weight loss and so on) fails to develop estrogen and progesterone, which also entails a violation of the menstrual cycle. If time does not pay attention to the delay monthly, it can cause a serious violation of hormonal background.

Menstrual disorders associated with a traumatic effect on the mucous membrane of the uterus

Such violations often occur after abortion or childbirth. While abortion occurs scraping Scraping - heavy and unsafe procedure   mucosa together with the embryo, then the mucous membrane is not immediately restored, which is the reason for the delay period. After birth month delay is not only due to the injury of the uterine lining, but at the expense of prolactin (a hormone that promotes the development of breast milk), which prevents the development of estrogen.

Delay month of pregnancy

Of course, the most important reason for the delay menstruation - a pregnancy. When it occurs, the corpus luteum, which was formed on the site of the ruptured follicle begins to actively produce progesterone Progesterone - norm and pathology That prevents maturation of new follicles in the ovary and increases endometrium necessary for introduction of the embryo. If pregnancy is suspected, you will need to buy at the pharmacy a home pregnancy test, and then seek medical attention.

Remember: the menstrual cycle - is a delicate process, to support the fertility of women, he may suffer from any impact, so if you delay menstruation is better to consult a doctor.

Women are often asked about whether it is possible to continue the treatment of gynecological diseases during menstruation. As for this Trichopolum, many are asking whether it is possible during menstruation ingest pills Trichopolum and continue using the topical treatment of vaginal tablets.

Under what gynecological diseases appoint Trichopolum and how they affect the monthly

Trichopolum is a drug that inhibits the ability to live protozoa. For gynecological diseases caused by protozoa, relates primarily trichomoniasis. The causative agent of the infection Trichomonas vaginalis is very sensitive with respect to Trichopolum. But in some cases, trichomoniasis is prolonged and asymptomatic (latent). Identify and treat the disease is difficult. Often, in order to do this, you need to shake the body, causing an exacerbation of infection.

Any infection is easier to treat in a state of aggravation. For the "shake" is often used various kinds of provocation - the introduction of drugs that can cause exacerbation of the disease. Natural menstruation is a provocation - it contributes to the aggravation of any infectious-inflammatory pelvic process. Therefore, gynecologists used monthly as a natural provocation.

Another common cause of purpose Trichopolum is bacterial vaginosis. It is not a disease, and vaginal dysbiosis Dysbacteriosis vagina - how to fight? . Can he, for various reasons, most often it occurs against the backdrop of frequent uncontrolled use of antibiotics, which leads to the suppression of vital functions of normal natural microflora of the vagina. The natural vaginal flora in healthy women creates an environment uncomfortable for reproduction pathogenic microflora. When the natural microflora is suppressed opportunistic starts to grow - it is the goiter.

Most often, the volume of growing colonies gardnerellas - bacteria that are sensitive to Trichopolum. If bacterial vaginosis is left untreated, then the creation of favorable conditions for the reproduction of pathogenic microflora (reduced immunity, colds), it will cause an infectious-inflammatory process. It manifested in the form of bacterial vaginosis heavy discharge with an unpleasant "fishy" odor.

Finally, there may be an infectious-inflammatory processes of internal female reproductive organs caused by anaerobic (without developing air) bacteria. As a rule, severe inflammatory processes, difficult to treat with antibiotics, which often develops addictive pathogens. And here to the aid may also come Trichopolum addictive which infectious agents is developing very slowly. Natural provocation in the form of monthly in the treatment of these diseases would also benefit.

You can apply or not Trichopolum during menstruation?

Treatment of gynecologic diseases Trichopolum carried out under the special scheme. In some cases, Trichopolum appointed independently, in others his appointment combined with the appointment of antibiotics. In any case Trichopolum takes a certain time and the course of treatment (and treatment any other drug) is better not to interrupt.

Admission Trichopolum inside and its introduction into a vein during menstruation should not be interrupted. But local application Trichopolum Trichopolum - indications for use are wide enough   during menstruation loses its meaning, because the drug, instead of trapped in the vagina to complete resorption, washed and removed together with menstrual blood.

Therefore, local Trichopolum Trichopolum - he treats?   in the form of vaginal tablets during menstruation is not recommended. At the same time, nothing bad will happen, and if the woman will continue to apply the vaginal tablets during menstruation.

Side effects

Trichopolum has few contraindications for use. This is the first twelve weeks of pregnancy, breast-feeding Breastfeeding - a personal choice   breast and individual intolerance of components.

Side effects can be noted headache, dizziness, insomnia, bad mood, seizure, ringing in the ears, and even hearing loss, fainting. It is also possible nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, poor appetite, disgusting metallic taste in the mouth, taste disturbances, abdominal cramps. There may be changes in the blood is a transient leukopenia (reduction in the number of white blood cells) and thrombocytopenia (decrease in the number of blood platelets). As with any other drug, possible allergic reaction. When administered intravenously Trichopolum possible development of thrombophlebitis.
