Signs of pregnancy?
According to Dr. Sukirti Jain, an obstetrician and gynecologist in New Delhi (India), labor loss and bloating can be silent signals of many health problems worth paying attention to, from pregnancy, hormonal disorders to digestive diseases.
It is undeniable that menopause is one of the earliest and most common signs of pregnancy. After fertilization, the body produces the hormone hCG, preventing ovulation and menstruation, explains Dr. Jain. At the same time, increased progesterone levels cause the digestive muscles to dilate, slow down the digestive process, causing bloating, flatulence and even constipation.
However, experts recommend: These symptoms can appear just one or two weeks after conception, so dont rush. Let's wait at least a week after the expected menstrual date and then have a pregnancy test to get the correct results."
delayed menstruation and bloating are signs of disease
If the pregnancy test is negative, don't be subjective. Late menstruation with bloating can be caused by a series of other reasons:
Stress: A study in BMC Women's Health shows that chronic stress disrupts the hormones that regulate ovulation, while slowing digestion, resulting in late menstruation and bloating at the same time.
Police polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): Dr. Jain warns that PCOS increases androgen production, disrupts ovulation and causes bloating due to insulin resistance.
Thyroid disorders: Abnormal thyroid function can also slow down both the cycle and digestion.
Sudden weight fluctuations: Loss or weight gain too quickly causes reproductive hormone imbalance.
Exercise too much: Uncontrolled strenuous exercise causes estrogen to drop, disrupts menstruation and puts pressure on the digestive system.
Digestive disorders such as IBS: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is often accompanied by bloating and cycle changes.
Premenopause: Women aged 35-40 and over may experience natural hormonal fluctuations that lead to this symptom.
Side effects of the drug: Some medications, including emergency contraceptives and anti-depressants, also cause cycle and digestive disorders.
