How to take care of yourself to relieve the symptoms of irregular menstruation and menstrual discomfort? 1 What factors are likely to cause irregular menstruation? Tan Xianjie, a gynecological oncologist, chief physician, and doctoral supervisor at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, introduces several symptoms of irregular menstruation. Abnormal menstrual cycle: A menstrual cycle of more than 40 days is often related to polycystic ovarian cysts, or due to malnutrition and excessive exercise. Frequent menstrual cycles within 21 days may be related to tuberculosis. Normal menstrual cycle, abnormal duration: Long menstruation may be related to incomplete corpus luteum atrophy, adenomyosis, endometrial hyperplasia, cervical polyps, erosion or cancer. Short menstruation may be related to tuberculosis or uterine damage after abortion. If menstruation lasts for 1-3 months and there is an abnormality, an ultrasound examination and endocrine examination are required. If the adjustment is normal within 1-3 months, no examination is required. Experts suggest that irregular menstruation is related to factors such as weather, mood, and endocrine. Menstruating women need to adjust their mentality and menstruate. What are the causes of dysmenorrhea? Dr. Tan Xianjie pointed out that dysmenorrhea is generally divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. After a detailed gynecological clinical examination, no obvious abnormalities were found in the pelvic organs, which is called primary dysmenorrhea. Secondary dysmenorrhea refers to obvious reproductive organ lesions such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and tumors. Unmarried women with primary dysmenorrhea can take oral painkillers to relieve it, and women of marriageable age can also relieve symptoms after giving birth. Secondary dysmenorrhea requires identification of specific symptoms, and symptoms can be relieved by auxiliary drugs or surgery. 3. What are the principles of self-care during menstruation? 1.
