What are the causes of irregular menstruation?

Menstrual irregularity is a common gynecological disease, characterized by abnormal menstrual cycle or bleeding volume, which may be accompanied by abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before and during menstruation.

There are many reasons for irregular menstruation, some of the main reasons include:

1. Hormone imbalance: If women of childbearing age are under long-term stress, the function of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland will be suppressed, and then the ovaries will no longer secrete female hormones, and menstruation will begin to be disordered. In addition, thyroid problems, cold, drug abuse, constipation, electromagnetic radiation, and unhealthy lifestyles can also affect the normal secretion of hormones.

2. Mental factors: High pressure in life and work, the body is in a state of tension and depression for a long time, which may lead to abnormal hormone levels in the body and affect menstruation.

3. Improper diet: Excessive weight loss can lead to insufficient nutrition intake, affect the synthesis of estrogen in the body, and cause menstrual disorders. In addition, if women eat cold, spicy, or irritating foods before and after menstruation, it may lead to poor menstrual blood flow and reduced menstrual volume.

4. Disease factors: diseases that cause endocrine dysfunction, including pituitary tumors, ovarian tumors, polycystic ovary syndrome, and reproductive organ diseases such as endometritis, cervicitis, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and systemic diseases such as thyroid disease, may affect the secretion of ovarian hormones, resulting in abnormal conditions such as increased menstrual flow and delayed menstruation.

5. Other reasons: If you smoke and drink heavily frequently, it may affect the body's estrogen and progesterone levels, leading to symptoms of irregular menstruation.

Treatment of irregular menstruation requires comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis based on the patient's specific situation and the doctor's advice, and then appropriate treatment measures are taken. At the same time, patients should maintain good living habits and follow the doctor's advice for treatment in order to recover soon.
