Several causes of irregular menstruation

Menstrual irregularities are common in adolescent girls. If they happen occasionally, you don't need to mind them. But if they happen frequently, you should check the cause, because menstrual irregularities are often a precursor to disease and should be taken seriously. According to experts, the main causes of menstrual irregularities in adolescent girls are as follows.

1. Normal menstrual irregularity: If pregnancy occurs, the first thing is that menstruation stops. When the menstruation is due, it often does not come, and there will be increased urination, changes in appetite, vomiting, nausea, etc. Such situations all occur after sexual intercourse. Early pregnancy test strips, serum tests, and B-ultrasound tests can quickly confirm that the pregnancy test is positive.

2. Endocrine abnormalities: The most common clinical condition is polycystic ovary syndrome. If you have obesity, hirsutism, acne, infertility, etc., you should have your endocrine system checked. Once abnormalities are found, you should seek treatment as soon as possible. Premature ovarian failure can also lead to irregular menstruation.

3. Chronic diseases: Some chronic wasting diseases often lead to irregular menstruation due to nutritional deficiencies. Common ones include chronic hepatitis, tuberculosis, tumors, hypothyroidism, severe iron deficiency anemia, aplastic anemia, etc., which often cause irregular menstruation.

4. Excessive weight loss: In real life, many women take weight loss drugs or go on an excessive diet in order to control their weight, which leads to irregular menstruation. If the period is short, the menstrual cycle can return to normal naturally, but for those with longer periods, they often need medication to restore the normal menstrual cycle.

5. Mental factors: If you suddenly become overly nervous, or have abnormal emotions such as grief, sadness, anger, or a broken heart, it will often lead to irregular menstruation. In this case, you will often feel breast pain, upset, and depressed. In general, endocrine disease does not require treatment, but sometimes menstruation is delayed and you can take Chinese medicine for syndrome differentiation and conditioning.

6. Taking certain drugs: Some drugs have side effects and often lead to irregular menstruation. For example, long-term use of birth control pills, emergency contraceptive pills, gastrokinetic drug metoclopramide, drugs for treating hyperthyroidism, traditional Chinese medicine tripterygium wilfordii polyglycosides, etc.
