Hi,
I understand your concern.
delayed periods due to -
-conception can produce bloated abdomen due to pregnancy hormones,
- Delay in periods due to irregular menses -again is due to hormonal imbalance
In both conditions the bowel movements are hampered by hormones ,leading to bloated abdomen.
* In your case, you are in forties, may be early pre menopausal symptoms have started,so the periods are delayed.
- You can exclude pregnancy by blood HCG test .
- It's good that you are adopting healthy life style. Low sugar containing food,high fibers & lot of water consumption along with enough exercises do help in combating hormonal effect.
- In case HCG test is -ve, you have to consult a gynac for treating irregular periods.
Thanks.
