What Causes Delayed Menstruation?
Brief Answer:
Pregnancy or due to effect of i pill
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy or due to the effect of I pill which has the side effect of delaying the next expected periods by2-3 weeks.
However, since periods are delayed by one month in her case, I will suggest her to get a urine pregnancy test to confirm.
If negative, then it is most likely due to the effect of I pill.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.

Brief Answer:
Hormonal disturbances
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, thanks for responding. Irregular periods can be due to hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease.
I will suggest her to get her hormonal profile done including thyroid hormone levels, prolactin levels and ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis, and get appropriate treatment.
You can get back to me with the investigations later by asking a direct question to me on health care magic portal.
Wishing you good health.
