Menstrual delay in young girls may be related to excessive stress, emotional fluctuations, fatigue, or consuming raw and cold foods. However, if the delay exceeds one week, sexually active women of childbearing age should first consider the possibility of pregnancy. A series of relevant tests can be performed to rule out pregnancy. If pregnancy is excluded, further evaluations including imaging studies and blood hormone level assessments should be conducted to examine the condition of the endometrium and adnexa, followed by targeted treatment based on the results. It is recommended to develop healthy lifestyle habits and reduce intake of spicy and irritating foods in daily life.
