The difference between early and late menstruation

Early menstruation is a symptom of irregular menstruation. According to traditional Chinese medicine, whether menstruation is normal or not is closely related to the liver, spleen, kidney and Chong and Ren meridians. Most women who have their periods early have weak Qi or hot blood, which is equivalent to endocrine imbalance in modern science. What is the difference between early and late menstruation?

The difference between early and late menstruation

In addition, some external factors may also affect women's endocrine status and cause menstrual irregularities:

1. Abnormal mentality causes menstrual disorders

Abnormal and long-term mental depression, anger or severe mental stimulation and psychological trauma can all lead to menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea or amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is produced after the hormone secreted by the uterus and ovaries stimulates the uterine wall. The hormone secreted by the uterus and ovaries is controlled by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland and the hormone released by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Therefore, whether it is the function of the uterus and ovaries, the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, or the hypothalamus, it will affect the menstruation.

2. Cold stimulation causes oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea

Excessive cold stimulation during women's menstrual period can cause excessive contraction of blood vessels in the pelvis, which can lead to oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea. Therefore, women need to have a regular daily life to avoid excessive fatigue, especially during the menstrual period to avoid cold and moisture.

3. Alcohol and smoking cause irregular menstruation

Some components and alcohol in smoke can affect the physiological process related to menstruation and cause menstrual disorders. Among women who smoke and drink too much, 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 alcohol, the number of those with irregular menstruation is three times that of women who smoke and drink. Therefore, women should not smoke and drink less.

4. Excessive sexual intercourse between husband and wife

Excessively frequent sexual intercourse can cause damage to women's kidney essence, which in turn can damage the kidney qi, lead to kidney yin deficiency, and virtual fire inflammation, which can also cause irregular menstruation. Therefore, everyone must develop good sexual habits, at most once or twice a week.

Under normal circumstances, it is normal for women's menstruation to be 3-7 days earlier or later, because menstruation is affected by many factors such as environment, climate, and mood. Mental, mental, external environment, temperature changes, endocrine imbalance, uterine disease, gynecological inflammation, mental factors, mood swings, environmental changes, drug effects, fatigue, excessive work stress and health conditions, some hot and cold stimulation, and poor diet can all lead to irregular menstruation.

For example, taking birth control pills, or some nutritional imbalance in the body, or having a bad temper can all cause menstruation to come early. Long-term business trips can also cause irregular menstruation, because the menstrual period is affected by the time and environment. An unstable living environment can cause irregular menstruation even if there is no sex life.

It is recommended that once you find that your period is early, you must not take chances. It is recommended to go to the hospital for B-ultrasound and six sex hormone tests, and then use medication after determining the cause of the disease. Pay attention to keeping warm and maintaining personal hygiene during menstruation.

What are the types of tests for irregular menstruation?

1. B-ultrasound examination

It can check whether the uterus, ovaries, pelvis and other tissues are healthy, and prevent the occurrence of uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts.

2. X-ray examination

Understand the situation in the uterus in detail and check whether there are cysts or other uterine fibroid tissues.

3. Endocrine examination

Through hormone measurement to determine whether various female hormones are normal, and then through corresponding hormone treatment.

4. Hysteroscopy or laparoscopy

Prevent tissue degeneration and ensure early diagnosis and treatment.

In addition, experts remind that women should keep good hygiene before doing gynecological examinations to avoid bacterial infection during the examination. They should also avoid the menstrual period before the examination. They should keep good hygiene before going to the hospital and do not take any medicines randomly, otherwise it will affect the examination results.
