Is it normal for my period to come three days early?

Early and delayed menstruation are symptoms of irregular menstruation. So, is it normal for menstruation to come three days early? Normally speaking, a woman's menstrual cycle is about 28 days. If there is a two or three day interval between each menstruation, it is normal and female friends do not need to worry. However, if your period comes 7 days early, you need to find out the cause of the early menstruation immediately.

Is it normal to have your period three days early?

The normal menstrual cycle of women is about 28 days. If the menarche cycle is consistently advanced by more than 7 days, or even occurs twice in a month, it is called "early menstruation", also known as "early menstruation" or "early menstruation". If it is only 3-5 days earlier and there are no other obvious symptoms, it is within the normal range. Sometimes, an early menstrual period does not count as an early menstrual period.

Early menstruation is a symptom of menstrual irregularity. According to traditional Chinese medicine, whether menstruation is normal or not is closely related to the liver, spleen, kidney and Chong and Ren meridians. The key cause of early menstruation is endocrine imbalance, which is more closely related to factors such as blood heat and qi deficiency.

Causes of early menstruation

1. People with excessive qi and blood, or who take too much irritating food and tonics, or who are depressed, or who have lost too much blood due to long-term illness, are very likely to have hot blood. When the blood gets hot, it flows inefficiently and the water flow speeds up, causing menstruation to come early.

2. Caused by organic diseases or drugs: including inflammation of the reproductive organs, tumors, growth abnormalities, malnutrition; brain diseases; other endocrine imbalances such as thyroid cysts.

3. Caused by imbalance of neuroendocrine function: mainly due to unstable or defective function of the axis of the back of the head-pituitary gland-uterus and ovary, that is, menstrual disorder.

4. Qi deficiency: People who are overworked or have an irregular diet are most likely to have a bad temper, because the spleen is the "manager" of the blood. Once the "manager" is at a disadvantage, the "managed" will inevitably want to rebel, so menstruation comes early. If there is no fire in the pulse, then the premature menstruation is due to the deficiency of heart and spleen qi, so it cannot come on time.

5. Pregnancy status: The color, quantity, quality and duration of early menstruation are basically the same as those of normal menstruation. There is also a certain correlation between early menstruation and fertility. The older you are when you get pregnant, the sooner you will reach menopause, and the less frequent your pregnancies, the sooner you will reach menopause. This is because the older the age of the first pregnancy, the lower the frequency of pregnancy, which causes the frequency of ovulation in girls to increase and menopause to come faster.
