Did you know that certain regular habits of yours might be one of the several reasons behind your disturbed menstrual cycle?

Well, you may be aware of the fact that intake of hormonal birth control pills or getting pregnant will affect your period. That said, other less-obvious factors, too, can influence your menstrual cycle, leading to delayed periods.

Usually, when you notice a change in your period, there is not much to worry about. If one waits for 2 to 3 months, whatever changes are seen will eventually straighten out.

If you have noticed a recent change, any of the below-mentioned factors could be a potential cause. However, one must always remember that the best way to know the precise reasons for delayed periods is to consult a gynaecologist for a check-up.
