What causes irregular menstruation? Can I still get pregnant if I have irregular menstruation?

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

Causes of irregular menstruation

1. Cold stimulation: Nowadays, women, for the sake of external beauty, often do not care about their cold bodies and wear very little clothes, especially during menstruation. If they do not pay attention to body warmth, they are likely to catch a cold, which will cause pelvic blood vessels to constrict, leading to oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea.

2. Abnormal emotions: Women who live in high-pressure and high-stress jobs for a long time will suffer from excessive emotional tension. These tense emotions will be reflected in the central nervous system and can easily cause irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, etc.

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

4. Excessive weight loss: Women always feel fat and try to lose weight every day for the sake of their figure, but they don’t know that fat is an important part of the body. Once fat is reduced, excessive protein consumption in the body will lead to difficulties in the synthesis of estrogen in the body, affecting menstruation and even causing amenorrhea.

5. Irregular work and rest habits. Due to the influence of life or work, this bad work and rest habit often leads to endocrine disorders and irregular menstruation.

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

If these diseases are not treated in time, they will lead to infertility.

3. Amenorrhea: No menstruation for over 18 years old; more than 6 consecutive months after menstruation. Causes of infertility: Amenorrhea is prone to occur when the uterus, ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus are infertile.

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