5 Types of Menstrual Irregularities

Irregular menstruation is a common gynecological disease, which can be divided into the following 5 types according to its symptoms:

Early menstruation

Normal menstrual cycle is normal, but suddenly the menstrual cycle is shortened, shorter than 21 days, and it occurs for more than 2 consecutive cycles, but the menstrual volume is normal. It belongs to ovulatory functional uterine bleeding with biphasic basal body temperature, short follicular phase, only 7-8 days, or luteal phase shorter than 10 days, or body temperature rise less than 0.5℃.

Delayed menstruation

Normal menstruation is regular, but the menstruation is delayed for more than 7 days, or even every 40 to 50 days, and there are more than two consecutive menstrual cycles, but the menstrual volume is normal. 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.

Prolonged menstrual period

The menstrual cycle is normal, the menstrual flow is normal, but the menstrual period is prolonged, 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 menstrual flow; those with prolonged endometrial repair still have a small amount of continuous vaginal bleeding after the normal menstrual period.

Irregular menstruation

Irregular menstruation, early or late menstruation, and a cycle shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days.

Ovulatory bleeding

Bleeding that occurs between two regular menstrual cycles is caused by a temporary drop in estrogen levels, which causes the endometrium to lose hormonal support and leads to the shedding of the endometrium.
