Is irregular menstruation necessarily a gynecological disease?

Normal menstruation is an important sign of physical health for mature women. When many women have menstrual disorders, they only consider gynecological diseases such as uterine hypoplasia, acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, and uterine fibroids, but ignore looking for causes outside the uterus. Little do you know that many bad habits and factors may also lead to menstrual disorders.

Emotional abnormalities

Long-term mental depression, sulking, or severe mental stimulation and psychological trauma can all lead to menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, or amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is caused by the stimulation of the endometrium by hormones secreted by the ovaries, and the hormones secreted by the ovaries are controlled by the release of hormones from the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Therefore, any abnormality in the function of the ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus will affect menstruation.

Excessive dieting

Research by relevant experts shows that girls need body fat to account for at least 17% of their body weight for menarche to occur, and body fat must reach at least 22% of their body weight to maintain a normal menstrual cycle. Excessive dieting will cause a large amount of fat and protein in the body to be consumed due to insufficient energy intake, resulting in estrogen synthesis disorders and obvious estrogen deficiency, affecting menstruation, or even causing scanty menstruation or amenorrhea. Therefore, women who pursue a slim figure must not diet blindly.

Irregular living habits

According to research, when women are exposed to cold during menstruation, the blood vessels in the pelvis will contract excessively, which can cause oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea. Therefore, women should have a regular daily life, avoid excessive fatigue, and especially keep away from cold and damp during menstruation.

Addicted to alcohol and cigarettes

Certain components and alcohol in smoke can interfere with physiological processes related to menstruation and cause menstrual disorders. Among women who smoke and drink excessively, 25% to 32% go to the hospital for treatment due to irregular menstruation. Among women who smoke more than one pack of cigarettes a day or drink more than 100 mg of strong liquor, the incidence of irregular menstruation is three times that of women who do not smoke or drink. Therefore, women should not smoke and drink less alcohol.

As a woman, "good friends" are a burden that cannot be thrown away. It seems that the smartest way is to get along with them in a friendly way, reduce the pain index to the minimum when encountering problems, and make yourself in a good mood during those days!

Experts recommend: Do not eat cold foods before and during menstruation, including vegetable soup, ice cream and other cold drinks. Eating cold foods will cause your menstrual period to be prolonged. Your period originally lasted 3-4 days may be delayed to 6-8 days. If it is delayed again and again, it will disrupt your menstruation. Also, don't eat anything that is hot and blood-replenishing, such as deer antler, donkey-hide gelatin, etc., otherwise your menstrual flow will be heavy.
