Menstrual cycle of 21 days makes you age faster

Normally, a woman's menstrual cycle is about 28 days. According to the different physical conditions of each person, the menstrual cycle will fluctuate within a certain range, from 21 days for some people to as long as 40 days for others. It is this long cycle that causes women to worry and think it is an abnormal physiological phenomenon. So regarding the duration of the menstrual cycle, is it true that a 21-day menstrual cycle will make you age faster?

Difference in egg maturation: For women who have a menstrual period of about 21 days, due to the short menstrual cycle, the growth and development of the eggs will be faster than in a normal cycle. When the uterus is fully developed, they will be expelled quickly, and the rate of endometrial thickening will also be accelerated, causing menstruation to occur earlier. For women who have a menstrual period every 35 days or so, their eggs mature relatively slowly, the rate of endometrial thickening slows down, their menstrual period comes slowly, and their menstrual cycle will also be delayed.

The difference in the probability of successful pregnancy: A woman ovulates about 400 times in her lifetime, and she ovulates once every time she has her period until all 400 eggs are ovulated. When a woman's ovulation is complete, it also means that she will no longer have fertility. Then a girl who has a menstrual period of about 21 days will ovulate more frequently than a woman who has a menstrual period of 35 days. The more frequent the ovulation, the higher the possibility of successful pregnancy. In addition, with the increase of age, the quality of female ovulation will decrease due to the reduction of cellular shrinkage, and the probability of successful pregnancy will also drop sharply.

The difference between early, mid and late menopause in women: Since the number of ovulation periods in a woman's life is fixed, women with fewer menstrual cycles will complete ovulation faster. After women ovulate, they will immediately enter an anovulatory period or menopause, which means they have entered menopause early. In other words, women who have a menstrual period every 21 days or so will enter menopause earlier than women who have a menstrual period every 35 days. Of course, this is not absolute, because if a woman whose menstrual period comes early chooses to have multiple pregnancies, her ovulation function will immediately enter a resting state. In addition, women’s mentality and living environment also affect the early, mid and late stages of menopause.

Differences in the degree of menstruation: As mentioned earlier, the length of the menstrual cycle will affect the time when ovulation is completed and determine when women stop menstruating. When women experience menopause, it means that related body functions will gradually decline, the secretion of estrogen will gradually decrease, and women will be more prone to decline. From a human body perspective, a woman who has her period every 21 days will look older than a woman who has her period every 35 days. However, this is not absolute. If a woman knows how to protect herself and has a positive mentality, she may even be younger than a woman with a long menstrual cycle.
