What complications can irregular menstruation cause?

Nowadays, due to the fast-paced lifestyle, the incidence of menstrual disorders in women is getting higher and higher. Although menstrual disorders will only bring physical discomfort to patients in the short term, if not treated in time, it can lead to many complications in the long run.

1. Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is generally a symptom that gradually appears in women during menopause. Bone growth requires a proper balance between estrogen and progesterone. Women with irregular menstruation disrupt the balance between hormones, which may lead to the early onset of osteoporosis or severe osteoporosis symptoms in the second half of life, accompanied by bone pain, leg soreness and weakness, etc.

2. Induce headaches in women

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that headaches during menstruation are caused by deficiency of Qi and blood, blood stasis, and excessive liver fire, with deficiency of Qi and blood being the main pathogenic factors. Patients with irregular menstruation have heavy menstrual blood loss, which leads to deficiency of Qi and blood, resulting in headaches, accompanied by dizziness, palpitations, insomnia, fatigue, etc. Modern medical research has found that when the level of estrogen in the blood drops to a certain level, it will also cause headaches.

3. Premenstrual syndrome

This is also a complication of irregular menstruation, which refers to a series of abnormal signs that appear before menstruation, such as inattention, mental tension, emotional instability, irritability, insomnia, headache, depression, breast pain, etc.

4. Polycystic ovary syndrome?

Symptoms include infrequent menstruation or amenorrhea, infertility, hirsutism, and obesity. If both ovaries are polycystic and enlarged, hormonal surgery can be used for treatment.
