Maybe some of you don't care if your periods are late, not to say that you think you are saved from them, however, there are some symptoms that should never be neglected. Late periods or other menstrual problems, such as heavy bleeding, can be signs of something more serious. These "red flags" indicate that it is time to make an appointment with the gynecologist.

The delay of the cycle can bring two reactions that oppose each other: joy, but also anxiety because the first thing that comes to your mind is a possible pregnancy. This is a fact that must be demystified, since the delay and irregularity of the menstrual cycle is not always related to pregnancy, but comes as a result of the following conditions: hormonal disorders, thyroid problems, food abuse, stress or premature menopause. 

If you can't take the pain anymore and just want to "die" at those moments or have your ovaries surgically removed, you may be suffering from endometriosis. "Symptoms can start at any time, but most women who are diagnosed with it have a history of painful periods from a young age," says Mass.

If you have light bleeding between periods, this may be completely normal (especially if you take birth control pills), but you may also need to get checked out by your doctor. This could mean you have uterine cysts or polyps, a fibroid tumor, or an infection (such as bacterial vaginosis).
