What is the treatment for irregular menstruation? 4 causes of irregular menstruation

Causes and treatment of irregular menstruation Some women may experience irregular menstruation, so what is the cause of irregular menstruation? How should it be treated?

Causes of irregular menstruation:

1. Abnormal emotions lead to menstrual disorders.

Abnormal emotions, such as long-term depression, mental stress, or major mental stimulation and psychological trauma, can lead to menstrual disorders or dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is formed by hormones secreted by the ovaries after the endometrium, and the hormones secreted by the ovaries are controlled by hormones released by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, so the functions of the ovaries, pituitary gland and hypothalamus will affect menstruation.

2. Cold stimulation leads to oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea

Cold stimulation during menstruation can cause excessive contraction of pelvic blood vessels, leading to scanty menstruation or even amenorrhea. Therefore, women should pay attention to keeping warm and damp during menstruation in their daily lives.

3. Dieting causes irregular menstruation

Girls need at least 17% of their body weight in fat to have menarche, and body fat should reach at least 22% of their body weight to maintain a normal menstrual cycle. Overeating, due to insufficient energy intake, leads to a large amount of fat and protein consumption in the body, resulting in estrogen synthesis disorders and obvious deficiency, affecting menstruation, and even infrequent menstruation or amenorrhea. Therefore, women who pursue slimness should not eat blindly.

4. Smoking and drinking cause menstrual disorders

Some ingredients and alcohol in cigarettes can interfere with physiological processes related to menstruation, leading to menstrual disorders. Among women who smoke and drink excessively, 25% to 32% go to the hospital for treatment due to menstrual disorders. Among women who smoke more than one pack of cigarettes a day or drink more than 100 ml of alcohol, menstrual disorders are three times more common than those who do not smoke or drink. Therefore, women should not smoke and drink less.

It is an urgent problem for many patients to solve. Although some patients ovulate, insufficient corpus luteum function can also lead to infertility. Different ovulation drugs are selected according to the patient's condition to improve ovarian function or replace part of the functions of the pituitary and hypothalamus.
