Question 1

i have an umbilical hernia that has grown for the past 1 year. it's causing me to have diaharrea, backaches and pain in my lower abdomen. now it's causing my period to be late for this month. i'd really like to know if a hernia can cause late period?

Accepted Answer

Not related 2 period: Umbilical hernia should not be related to any symptoms described, especially not to your periods. Hernia itself could be painful if &amp; should a loop of intestine get stuck in it. Please push hernia back, should this occur. Enlarging umbilical hernia is an indication for surgical repair, unless it is small enough for repair to be considered cosmetic. Good Luck.

Question 2

what can cause a late period to occur?

Accepted Answer

Late ovulation: Late ovulation, hands down, is the most frequent reason for a late period (period starts late.) for a missed period (doesn't come at all, ) pregnancy is top of the list.

Question 3

what are some possible causes of late period?

Accepted Answer

Several: Pregnancy, stress, delayed ovulation, ovarian cysts, no ovulation, and thyroid disease to name a few of many reasons.

Question 4

can plan b cause late period!?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

can oral sex cause a late period?

Accepted Answer

No: Are you concerned about pregnancy which will require sperm in the vagina.  Otherwise there is probably some other explanation.

Question 6

can cervicitis cause a late period?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Cervicitis is inflammation of the cervix, that can cause spotting and an ususual discharge.  It is unlikely to change when your period starts or stops.  The timing of your period is more related to your hormones.

Question 7

could appendicitis cause a late period?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Anything that causes excessive stress on your system can result in hormone imbalances and irregular periods.

Question 8

can physical stress really cause a late period?

Accepted Answer

Yes, though: I'm not sure what you mean by physical stress. But anything that stresses the body---lack of sleep, poor nutrition, severe or chronic emotional stress, a trauma, etc., can disrupt the body's normal patterns of hormone secretion and cause a late period.

Question 9

does chronic appendicities cause a late period ?

Accepted Answer

It should not: It should not do the delay.

Question 10

had a 2 day late period. period is lighter than usual. what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Some thoughts...: Many women have occasional variation of their mucus discharge, some spotting between periods, a heavier period, a lighter period, a longer or shorter period, or even a missed period.  Having one or two of these symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean there is a medical problem, but a call to one’s primary care or Ob-Gyn doctor is a good idea if symptoms are persistent, recurring, or worrisome.
