Common misunderstandings about irregular menstruation

1. Belief that menstrual periods are irregular

An abnormal cycle of every 28 days on average is the most ideal physiological cycle for women. However, this cycle is not completely fixed. In theory, it is normal to have a menstrual cycle every 22 to 35 days. When women are over 35 years old, their menstrual cycle becomes more unstable.

2. Dysmenorrhea will disappear after marriage

The rumor that dysmenorrhea disappears after marriage has always been popular, but there is little actual evidence. In fact, pregnancy and childbirth can relieve dysmenorrhea, because pregnancy supports the uterus, contractions are no longer so severe, and the endometrium is easier to shed, so it is naturally less painful.

3. Menstrual inheritance

In fact, this statement is reasonable, because the mother's menstruation comes earlier, and the daughter's menstruation will also be earlier. However, in addition to some tendencies brought by genetics, nutrition, physical and mental health, geographical climate and various external factors will also jointly affect the time of menarche.

4. Chocolate and sweets can improve

There is no scientific basis for dysmenorrhea. Eating a lot of sweets during menstruation not only fails to eliminate menstrual symptoms, but also easily causes blood sugar instability and aggravates menstrual discomfort.
