What are the reasons for irregular menstruation in women? Can women with irregular menstruation get pregnant?

Menstruation is a physiological reaction that every woman experiences every month under normal circumstances. However, there can also be abnormal situations. Among them, irregular menstruation is particularly common in our daily lives, and we must pay attention to it.

Causes of irregular menstruation

1. Cold stimulation: Nowadays, women, for the sake of external beauty, often do not care whether their bodies are cold or not and wear very little clothes, especially during menstruation. If they do not pay attention to keeping their bodies warm, they are easily invaded by cold air, which in turn causes vasoconstriction in the pelvic cavity, leading to oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea.

2. Abnormal emotions: Women who live under high-pressure and high-tension work for a long time will become overly nervous. These tense emotions will be reflected in the central nervous system, which can easily cause irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, etc.

3. Pursuit of smoking and drinking: Do not drink or smoke too much in daily life, because once the harmful substances in tobacco react with alcohol, they will interfere with the physiological process of menstruation and cause menstrual disorders, so it is best for female friends not to smoke or drink in daily life.

4. Excessive weight loss: Women always feel fat and want to lose weight every day for the sake of figure, but they don’t know that fat is a very important part of the body. Once fat is reduced a lot, protein in the body is over-consumed, which will lead to difficulty in synthesizing estrogen in the body, affecting menstruation and even causing amenorrhea.

5. Irregular work and rest schedule. Due to the influence of life or work, people often stay up late or have an irregular work and rest schedule. This bad work and rest habit can easily lead to endocrine disorders and cause irregular menstruation.

6. Abortion. Multiple abortions can lead to thin endometrium, uterine damage that is difficult to repair, and even irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, and infertility.

7. Uterine fibroids. Women with uterine fibroids usually experience irregular menstruation, which is mainly manifested by heavy menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual period. The severity of the symptoms depends on the pathological condition of the uterine fibroids.

8. Thyroid problems: If the thyroid function is hyperactive or hypoactive, it will also affect the ovarian function and make menstruation irregular.

9. Impact of IUD. IUD is a foreign body outside the body, which can stimulate the endometrium of women, leading to irregular menstruation and amenorrhea.

Does irregular menstruation affect fertility?

1. Irregular menstruation caused by external factors will not affect fertility after conditioning: If a woman has irregular menstruation due to emotions, stress, changes in lifestyle habits, etc., with abnormal menstrual cycles or bleeding volume, accompanied by abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before and during menstruation, normal pregnancy and fertility will not be affected after treatment and conditioning.

2. Menstrual irregularities caused by organic diseases or dysfunctions indirectly affect fertility: If menstrual irregularities are caused by organic diseases or dysfunctions, this type of menstrual irregularity itself will not lead to infertility, but it will often cause some gynecological diseases, such as uterine hypoplasia, acute and chronic diseases, etc. If these diseases are not treated in time, they will lead to infertility.

3. Amenorrhea: no menstruation after the age of 18; continuous amenorrhea for more than 6 months after the onset of menstruation. Causes of infertility: amenorrhea is very likely to occur when suffering from uterine, ovarian, pituitary, or hypothalamic infertility.

4. Symptoms before and after menstruation: Breast swelling, headache, edema, fever, acne and other symptoms appear before and after each menstruation. Causes of infertility: These symptoms are caused by endocrine disorders that lead to imperfect corpus luteum function, which can also lead to infertility.

5. Menstrual disorders: early or delayed menstruation; excessive or insufficient menstrual flow; significantly prolonged menstrual period. Causes of infertility: Menstrual disorders are often related to endocrine disorders, corpus luteum insufficiency, and endometrial inflammation.

6. Dysmenorrhea: Those who have no history of dysmenorrhea may suddenly experience severe abdominal pain during menstruation. This is a key to how female infertility can be self-examined.
