Is irregular menstruation related to the liver?

Irregular menstruation refers to menstrual disorders. Whether it is related to the liver needs to be judged based on the specific circumstances.

If you have liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc., and the disease continues to progress and leads to abnormal liver function, it may cause menstrual disorders. This is mainly because abnormal liver function leads to disorders in prothrombin synthesis and protein synthesis, which weakens the ability to inactivate estrogen. Patients may experience uncomfortable symptoms such as increased menstruation and prolonged menstruation. However, if you do not have liver disease or the condition is mild and has no obvious effect on liver function, it is considered to be unrelated to the liver and may be caused by mental stress, long-term use of contraceptives, uterine fibroids, etc.

Details are as follows:

1. Mental stress

Long-term mental stress will affect the secretory function of the hypothalamus, ovaries and pituitary gland, leading to menstrual disorders.

2. Long-term use of contraceptive pills

Estrogen and progesterone are the main ingredients of contraceptives. Long-term use of contraceptives can cause hormone levels in the body to become disrupted, leading to menstrual disorders.

3. Uterine fibroids

The growth of uterine fibroids will increase the area of ​​the endometrium, affect uterine contraction, lead to menstrual disorders, and cause patients to experience uncomfortable symptoms such as increased menstrual volume and prolonged menstruation.

In addition to the common factors mentioned above, menstrual disorders may also be caused by endometrial polyps, polycystic ovary syndrome, hyperthyroidism and other factors. After the symptoms of menstrual disorders appear, you should seek medical treatment in time and treat them according to the cause to avoid delaying the condition. We should also improve our daily living habits and avoid strenuous exercise or excessive fatigue. Our diet should also be light. Most patients can be well conditioned and don't need to be too nervous.
