First, it is necessary to determine whether a delayed menstrual period is due to pregnancy, as hormonal levels change during pregnancy, which suppresses the shedding of the uterine lining and leads to a missed period. If pregnancy is ruled out, long-term sleep deprivation, excessive dieting for weight loss, stress, anxiety, and similar factors can also disrupt the menstrual cycle and result in delayed menstruation.
