What causes shorter menstrual cycles?

There are many reasons for the shortening of menstrual cycle, which may be related to diet, lifestyle, psychological factors, drug factors, disease factors, etc. The details are as follows:

1. Dietary factors: Long-term consumption of high-sugar and high-fat foods will make the body obese, thus causing insulin resistance. Excessive consumption of cold and fried foods will also cause blood stasis, thus shortening the menstrual cycle.

2. Lifestyle factors: Staying up late for a long time will disrupt the endocrine system, leading to endocrine disorders, which in turn affects the metabolism of the endometrium, inducing problems such as irregular menstruation, scanty menstruation, and short periods.

3. Psychological factors: When women are under high-intensity work and life pressure for a long time, their mental state is often tense, and their endocrine system will be affected to a certain extent, leading to a shortened menstrual period.

4. Drug factors: Taking drugs containing estrogen or blood-activating drugs, as well as eating too much blood-activating food, may cause early menstruation and shorten the menstrual cycle.

5. Disease factors: such as uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, endometrial disease, polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian cysts, vaginitis, etc. These diseases can damage the ovaries or endometrium, leading to menstrual cycle disorders, which manifests as a shortened cycle.

Note: You should get enough sleep and not stay up late. Eat a light diet and avoid spicy and greasy food. Keep a good mood and don't be anxious or nervous. Avoid drug abuse and take medicine according to the doctor's advice. If you feel any discomfort, you can seek medical help as soon as possible.
