We hope that if you find that your menstruation is short, you will be alert to whether it is uterine polyps.

Why is my menstrual period short?

1. What is the reason

1. Caused by neuroendocrine dysfunction: mainly due to unstable or defective function of the lower hindbrain-stomach-ovary axis, that is, menstrual disease.

2. Caused by organic diseases or drugs, including local inflammation, tumors and developmental abnormalities of the reproductive organs, malnutrition; intracranial diseases; other endocrine dysfunctions such as thyroid and adrenal cortex dysfunction, diabetes, Sheehan's disease, etc.; liver diseases; blood diseases, etc. Menstrual irregularities may occur in women who use drugs to treat mental illnesses, endocrine preparations, or intrauterine devices for contraception. Certain occupations, such as long-distance runners, are prone to amenorrhea. In addition, some abnormal bleeding during pregnancy is often mistaken for menstrual irregularities.

The normal menstrual cycle of women is generally 28-30 days. The length of the cycle varies from person to person, but a menstrual cycle shorter than 21 days should be considered an abnormal short menstrual cycle.

Second, the main reasons for short menstrual cycles in adult women are as follows:

1. Ovarian dysfunction and menopausal dysfunctional uterine bleeding are both causes of short menstrual cycles.

2. People with luteal insufficiency have a shorter menstrual cycle due to the shortening of the relatively fixed luteal phase.

3. Some patients with uterine fibroids have frequent menstruation, and their menstrual cycle becomes shorter due to frequent menstruation.

4. Some women who experience heavy bleeding during ovulation may also experience frequent menstruation, which is also one of the reasons for a short menstrual cycle.

What to do if the endometrium is thin

The thickness of the endometrium changes cyclically, so excluding congenital factors, it is often caused by endocrine disorders. You can supplement estrogen to thicken it, or you can use Chinese medicine to regulate it. If the menstrual cycle changes frequently, it means that ovulation is abnormal, which will cause the thickness to be too thin. In this case, it is more difficult to get pregnant, but it does not mean infertility.

1. Endocrine disorders

For women, emotional instability is also one of the reasons for changes in endometrial thickness. This is because long-term anxiety and worry may disrupt endocrine balance, causing changes in the thickness of the endometrium.

2. Abortion curettage injury

The endometrium has three layers. If there are multiple miscarriages or improper operation, the endometrium may be scratched. Scratching the middle layer will cause less damage, but scratching the bottom layer will bring serious consequences.

3. Endometrial lesions

For example, polyps, endometrial cancer, etc.
