Common symptoms of irregular menstruation

Menstruation is the time when women need the most care. Women's menstrual conditions can reflect many diseases that are usually hidden. Irregular menstruation is a situation that many women will encounter. Although it is relatively common in life, it has not attracted everyone's attention. So, what are the common characteristics of irregular menstruation?

Experts say that there are many factors that cause irregular menstruation. In addition to external factors such as work pressure, endocrine disorders, irregular diet, etc., it may also be caused by organic diseases. Therefore, we must pay attention to the phenomenon of irregular menstruation and actively conduct examinations and treatments once discovered.

1. Early menstruation: Early menstruation refers to a shortened menstrual cycle that is shorter than 21 days and occurs for more than two consecutive cycles. It is a biphasic basal body temperature of ovulatory functional uterine bleeding, a short follicular phase of only 7 to 8 days, or a luteal phase of less than 10 days, or a temperature rise of less than 0.5°C.

2. Delayed menstruation: Menstruation is delayed for more than 7 days, or even every 40 to 50 days, and occurs for more than two consecutive menstrual cycles. For those who ovulate, the basal body temperature is biphasic, but the follicular phase is long and the high temperature phase is low. For those who do not ovulate, the basal body temperature is monophasic.

3. Prolonged menstruation: normal menstrual cycle, prolonged menstruation, menstruation lasting more than 7 days, or even 2 weeks. Those with inflammation usually have lower abdominal pain, which is aggravated during menstruation. Usually, the amount of vaginal discharge is heavy, yellow or yellow-white, thick, and has a smell. Those with incomplete corpus luteum atrophy also have heavy menstruation. Those with prolonged endometrial repair still have a small amount of continuous vaginal bleeding after the normal menstrual period.

4. Menstrual disorders: irregular menstruation, early or delayed menstruation, and a cycle shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days.

5. Intermenstrual bleeding (also known as intermenstrual bleeding or ovulation bleeding) refers to bleeding that occurs between two regular menstrual cycles. It is caused by a temporary drop in estrogen levels, which causes the endometrium to lose hormonal support and leads to endometrial shedding.

In daily life, everyone should learn and understand some common sense of health, have a correct understanding of the physiological phenomenon of menstruation, and eliminate fear and tension. During menstruation, you should keep warm and avoid cold stimulation. Pay attention to rest, reduce fatigue, strengthen nutrition, and enhance physical fitness. You should try to control violent mood swings, avoid strong mental stimulation, and keep a happy mood.
