As long as they are women, they have experienced varying degrees of menstrual irregularities. Menstrual disorders can cause certain damage to women's physical health. For example, facial spots and acne can lead to infertility in severe cases. So, female friends with long-term menstrual disorders must be taken seriously.
So, how to determine if one's menstrual cycle is "irregular"?
Firstly, look at the menstrual cycle: the average cycle is around 28 days, and it is normal for this cycle to be advanced or delayed by 7 days, provided that it is regular. If there are no other special reasons, the sudden extension or shortening of menstruation should be taken seriously.
2. Pay attention to menstrual blood status: Under normal menstrual conditions, menstrual blood is characterized by being neither rare nor very thick. Not very easy to coagulate, usually there are no blood clots, and there is no odor. If menstrual blood becomes thick or very thin, or if there are many blood clots in the menstrual blood, it should be taken seriously.
3. Pay attention to menstrual blood volume: The normal menstrual blood volume is around 50ML. Due to individual differences and differences in relief, it is normal for menstrual blood volume to vary slightly. The fourth observation is that the color of menstrual blood is normal. Menstrual blood is generally red and slightly dull, starting with a lighter color, gradually deepening, and then turning into a light red and clean color. If it is consistently bright red, purple red, light yellow, or coffee colored, it is considered abnormal.
When encountering menstrual disorders, it is necessary to go to the hospital for relevant examinations in a timely manner, determine the cause of menstrual disorders, and then adjust according to the specific situation. Generally speaking, the common causes of menstrual disorders in women include the following:
1. Disease factors: If a female friend already suffers from gynecological diseases such as uterine fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, and ovarian ovulation disorders, they will affect her menstrual cycle and cause menstrual disorders. So if female friends feel that their menstrual cycle is abnormal in daily life, they should first consider that it is caused by disease factors. They should go to the hospital for gynecological examinations in a timely manner. If diagnosed with this disease, they should be treated in a timely manner.
2. High mental stress: Modern people face significant life and work pressures. Without learning to control their emotions and regulate their psychology, they are prone to excessive mental stress and anxiety. Long term emotional suppression and mental tension can lead to menstrual disorders and even symptoms such as amenorrhea.
3. Not paying attention to keeping warm and frequently getting cold: Many female friends like to wear low waisted pants or short skirts, which can expose their body parts and cause them to get cold. Especially during menstruation, using cold water, drinking cold drinks, and eating raw and cold foods can cause the body to get cold and cause dysmenorrhea or even menstrual disorders.
4. Dieting to lose weight: Many female friends are very concerned about their body shape and will adopt transitional dieting to lose weight. In fact, transitional dieting can cause great harm to the body, as it can lead to the depletion of protein and fat in the body, which can cause obstacles in estrogen synthesis and lead to a decrease in estrogen levels, further affecting the normal menstrual cycle, resulting in menstrual disorders.
5. Frequent smoking and drinking: Not only do many male friends enjoy smoking and drinking, but some women also have bad habits of smoking and drinking. Long term smoking and drinking can affect the normal menstrual cycle because some toxic substances and alcohol in cigarettes can interfere with the normal physiological process of menstruation, further leading to menstrual disorders.
If menstrual irregularities are caused by the above-mentioned adverse factors, in mild cases, they can be resolved by improving lifestyle habits. If severe menstrual disorders occur, women can take some medication for treatment, but the use of medication must be under the guidance of professional doctors. It is important not to blindly abuse medication to avoid not being able to regulate menstrual disorders and delaying the condition, causing the condition to worsen. Therefore, the use of medication must be under the guidance of professional doctors to help women stay away from the impact of menstrual disorders faster.
