Female body is durable and fragile at the same time. His work is influenced by many circumstances, and in the most unexpected way. It would seem, what relation does the viral disease have to violations of menstrual function? But the monthly flu can become unrecognizable. They are often late if the woman has had an infection. And the flu itself, if it coincides with critical days, is treated a little differently.
What is considered a delay
Menstruation normally returns cyclically. The period from one to the other usually has a constant value for every woman - from 21 days to 35. But since the body rarely works like a chronometer, changes in the cycle are permissible in the direction of decrease or increase. And if in July it was 28 days, in August 29, and in September 30, such a delay is not considered a delay. These are minor fluctuations, which you should not pay attention to.
Menstrual cycle
It happens that the monthly ones are late for a longer period. After all, they depend on the work not only of the ovaries, the uterus, but also the brain, nervous and endocrine systems, and many other parts of the body. A natural cause of the absence of menstruation can become pregnancy. But since the process of replacing the inner covering of the uterus is complex enough, it is also capable of less pleasant reasons to disturb it:
- emotions, both positive and negative;
- physical overwork;
- temperature changes in living conditions;
- disorders in nutrition;
- disease, including those not affecting the reproductive organs;
- taking medications.
Allowable time delay of menstruation, at which you can just wait for them, doing nothing - 3 - 7 days. If the same is repeated in the next cycle, you need to go to the doctor, find out the exact cause. The absence of a monthly infection due to a viral infection may be greater - up to 10 days. But in this case the reason is clear.
Causes of failure in the cycle after
Disease Changes that occur in the body with infection, cutting and are significant, which is manifested by a multitude of symptoms. The state of health worsens very quickly. And although the main manifestations of the disease concern violations of the respiratory organs and nasopharynx, the whole body suffers. Therefore, it is not necessary to doubt whether influenza can affect the monthly. The infection breaks the cycle for a number of reasons:
| Cause | How does the body affect |
| intoxication? This is the difference between a viral disease and other respiratory infections. Even a mild form of influenza results in the poisoning of tissues with the products of the vital activity of the microorganisms that cause it. This inhibits the natural hormonal changes, including those responsible for different parts of the brain. | |
| Attack on immunity | Protective forces in influenza are under increased load. In the cells there is the formation of antibodies that suppress the virus. The remaining important processes of opportunities do not remain. From this, you can not only change the time frame of the cycle, in other words, menstruation itself will go. Monthly during influenza is less or more abundant, causing pain more than usual. |
| Forced changes in nutrition | Intoxication is manifested by nausea, vomiting and, of course, a complete lack of appetite. Sometimes a woman does not eat for a few days at all, but only drinks water with difficulty. It is a protective reaction against a virus that feeds on protein compounds. Their absence helps to cope with the pathogen. But it also disrupts the development of the endometrium, inhibiting its rejection. |
| Taking medication | The flu can quickly go into a bacterial infection that requires the use of antibiotics. Some people start using them immediately, although the virus of these drugs is not afraid. But the hypothalamus and other hormone-producing organs are affected by antibacterial agents. The selection of substances necessary for starting the rejection of the endometrium of substances is slowed down. And the monthly after the flu go longer. After all, the development of the mucous uterus is also broken. Affects and general weakening of the body due to illness. |
| High temperature | This is also one of the hallmarks of the flu. Hyperthermia helps to suppress the pathogen. But it causes a headache, a bad state of health in general, that is, inevitably disturbs the work of the pituitary-hypothalamus-ovaries. |
What to do if the
is delayed The delay in the month for influenza should rather go to the back burner. This problem lasts a few days until the condition stabilizes. Going to the gynecologist with infection is impossible, bed rest is necessary. A load of the already weakened by the virus organism of medicinal products to call monthly, and even selected independently can not.
It is important to direct all efforts to eliminate the flu. To the medicines prescribed by the therapist, you can add decoctions of medicinal herbs having an effect on the virus and the state of the reproductive organs:
- Chamomile broth. The plant contains antibacterial components that will help prevent the development of complications. But there are also natural hormones in it that help to activate the work of the reproductive organs. Chamomile flowers take 2 - 3 tbsp.l., pour 200 ml of boiling water, heat 20 minutes in a water bath. Cool the filtered and drink 100 ml 3 times a day.
- Parsley. Seasoning is consumed and in fresh form. But with the flu, any food is disgusting, and it is easier to swallow a liquid. Therefore, the delay of the monthly because of the flu is eliminated simultaneously with the infection by a decoction of 3 tbsp.l.parsley and 200 ml of boiling water, preparing for 10 minutes on a small fire.
- Dill. The plant has a powerful diuretic effect. With influenza it is important to eliminate intoxication. But dill can also hasten menstruation. Therefore, when influenza and at the same time delay make a decoction of 2 tbsp.l.plants with 200 ml of hot water, kept for 15 minutes on the stove.
- Ginger. Its root contains many vitamins, which is important for the flu. It also helps to get rid of toxins and spur the activity of the ovaries. Ginger is ground and brewed in boiling water, like tea, 3 - 5 minutes. You can drink a glass at a time, without filtering.
Is it possible to induce a monthly after-illness
Delay of monthly post-influenza remediation measures involves more serious. But first consult with a gynecologist does not interfere. For the call of menstruation, and at the same time and recovery after infection it will be useful to drink:
- Infusion of root elecampane. This is a powerful tool for the preparation of which you need 1 tsp.raw materials and 200 ml of boiling water. They are kept on the fire for 15 minutes, and then, turning it off, leave for 4 hours. Take 4-5 table spoons a day.
- Cornflower based remedy. 2 tsp.dry flowers are placed in 200 ml of boiling water for an hour. Drink should be 1 tbsp.l.3 times a day.
There are also medications that can stop the delay. But they are used only by the doctor's prescription, since all of them are hormonal. These are:
- Dufaston,
- Norkolut,
- Utrozhestan,
- Postinor.
Drugs are analogues of progesterone regulating the final part of the cycle. Flu, finding this stage, leads to a deficiency of the hormone, which is why there is a delay.

How to treat influenza with menstruation
It would seem that in the treatment of a viral infection, if it coincides with critical days, there should not be anything unusual. In general, the treatment is the same as that prescribed for getting rid of the flu and at other times of the cycle:
- antiviral "Remantadin", "Tamiflu";
- "Paracetamol" for decreasing temperature, as well as "Ibuprofen" or "Diclofenac", which relieve sensation of aches in the body;
- vasoconstrictive drops from the common cold "Naphthyzin", "Toonos";
- preparations that promote the clearance of the respiratory tract from sputum "Ambrobene", "Broncholitin";
- antihistamines "Suprastin", "Claritin", which relieve puffiness, facilitate breathing;
- medicines for the removal of inflammation in the throat - "Furatsilin", spray "Geksoral";
- vitamins "Undevit", "Multitabs Immuno Plus", containing ascorbic acid.
But there is also a special feature in the treatment associated with menstruation. Do not bring down the heat " Aspirin" and drugs in which there is acetylsalicylic acid. They reduce blood clotting, which is undesirable when menstruating, especially abundantly. This can further strengthen the discharge, thereby worsening the state of health. From the disease to weakened blood loss, the body will also be more difficult to get rid of.
Viral infection is one of the cycle-changing factors. Therefore, do not be scared, if after the flu the men have come earlier, but not late. This also happens with a different type of hormonal failure, when the volume of progesterone increases. Already in the next cycle, the process should return to normal, if there were no complications.
