These types of menstrual abnormalities are very common and women must be careful!

Under normal circumstances, the menstrual cycle is 24 to 35 days, and menstruation can last about 2 to 7 days. Menstruation during or delayed within 7 days is within the normal range. However, when the menstrual flow is too large or too small, or the menstrual cycle is short or long, you should be alert.

What menstrual abnormalities should we be alert to?

1. Decreased menstrual flow or sudden amenorrhea

Less than 20 ml of menstrual blood means that the menstrual volume has decreased significantly, such as only a small amount of bleeding in the sanitary napkin. Amenorrhea means that the menstrual cycle was originally very regular, but there has been no menstruation for about three months. When you suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome, it will cause less menstrual volume, which will affect women's conception. It will also make them more prone to diabetes, excessive body hair, acne, and bad temper. When women suffer from tumors related to the reproductive system, such as endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, or ovarian cancer, it will also cause a decrease in menstrual volume or amenorrhea. Some women will blindly lose weight by dieting or taking diet pills, which will cause abnormal hormone levels in the body, affecting menstruation and even leading to amenorrhea.

2. Increased menstrual flow

If the menstrual volume exceeds 80 ml each time, it means that the menstrual volume is heavy and you need to change sanitary napkins about 4 times a day. When you suffer from uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, gynecological inflammation or pernicious anemia, hypothyroidism, chronic liver disease and coagulation disorders, the menstrual volume will suddenly increase.

3. Short or long menstrual cycle

If the menstrual cycle is less than 20 days, it is considered too short, indicating that the corpus luteum function is abnormal, accompanied by continuous menstrual bleeding. If it exceeds 35 days, it means that the menstrual cycle is too long, and such people should go to the hospital for medical treatment in time, as they may suffer from endometriosis, blood disease, uterine hypertrophy, functional bleeding, uterine leiomyoma, etc.

4. Irregular menstrual cycle and abnormal menstrual color

If your menstrual cycle suddenly becomes irregular, it indicates that your endocrine system is out of balance. If there is a small amount of bleeding between your periods, it indicates that your estrogen level is relatively low. In addition, cervicitis, metritis, vaginitis, or endometriosis can also cause irregular menstrual cycles. Under normal circumstances, menstrual blood is dark red with small blood clots. If the color of the menstrual blood is too red, it indicates that there is heat in the blood. If the color is too dark, it indicates that coldness has accumulated.

Kind tips

If you find that your menstruation is abnormal, you should go to the hospital in time to solve it. During menstruation, you should pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid having sex, and avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and irritating foods. You should not do strenuous exercise or sit for a long time during menstruation.
