Brief Answer:
Likely hormonal disturbances
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
In that case, delayed periods can be due to hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease, or stess.
I will suggest you to get your hormonal profile done including thyroid hormone levels and prolactin levels, and an ultrasound done.
This will diagnose the condition and treatment should be done accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
