       cause Irregular menstruation what is the reason

      Menstrual disorders yes female Common diseases of menstruation refer to abnormal changes in menstrual cycle, menstrual period or menstrual flow, including prolonged or shortened menstrual cycle, irregular menstrual cycle, too much or too little menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual period and Dysmenorrheaamenorrhea , premenstrual syndrome and other conditions. In addition to subjective reasons, there are also some objective factors that cause menstrual irregularities in women. So, what factors cause menstrual disorders and how to treat them?

      Seven culprits of irregular menstruation in women

      One culprit: stress

      If women of childbearing age are under long-term stress, the function of the pituitary gland will be inhibited, causing the ovaries to no longer ovulate and secrete estrogen, thus causing menstrual irregularities. Similarly, long-term depression or poor mood can also lead to menstrual irregularities.

      The second culprit: Greed for coolness

      Some women don't pay much attention to keeping warm during menstruation, such as eating ice cream, ice cream and other cold foods during menstruation, or wearing thin clothes to look beautiful in winter, etc. As everyone knows, these behaviors will constrict the blood vessels in the pelvic cavity, leading to ovarian dysfunction, low menstrual flow, and even amenorrhea.

      The third culprit: electromagnetic waves

      Modern life is inseparable from mobile phones, computers, DV players, electric woks, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators and other electrical appliances. But many women don't know that various household appliances and electronic equipment will produce different electromagnetic waves during use. These electromagnetic waves acting on the human body for a long time will affect women's endocrine and reproductive functions, leading to endocrine disorders and menstrual disorders.

      The fourth culprit: constipate

      In women with constipation, their rectum will swell due to the accumulation of stool, resulting in Uterus The neck moves forward and the body of the uterus tilts backward. If a woman is constipated for a long time and the uterus is often kept in a backward position, it will lead to menstrual irregularities and also cause low back pain

      The fifth culprit: overuse of antibiotics

      Some women like to use antibiotics to treat both major and minor illnesses. However, experts point out that the misuse or frequent use of antibiotics in large quantities can cause menstrual irregularities in women, leading to a lack of ovulation and even amenorrhea.

      The sixth culprit: disco

      Many young women like disco and never tire of it. However, staying in the deafening music environment of disco bars for a long time will not only damage your hearing, but also cause menstrual disorders.

      Culprit No. 7: Smoking

      The nicotine in tobacco can reduce the secretion of hormones, thereby interfering with the physiological processes related to menstruation and causing menstrual disorders. Women who smoke more than one pack a day are three times more likely to suffer from menstrual irregularities than non-smoking women, and it can cause dysmenorrhea with very serious consequences.

      How to treat irregular menstruation

      Keep warm:

      You should avoid wading in the rain before menstruation. Women in air-conditioned rooms in summer should avoid exposing their ankles and lower abdomen to avoid blood stagnation due to cold.

      Avoid burnout:

      Menstrual bleeding reduces physical strength, and overexertion can easily consume energy and damage the kidneys. Especially when the amount of menstrual blood is heavy, it is necessary to take appropriate rest, maintain adequate sleep, and avoid heavy physical labor and strenuous sports.

      Reconciling emotions:

      Many women's moods tend to fluctuate with the menstrual cycle. Therefore, we should pay attention to soothing the liver and regulating qi, eliminating the influence of negative emotional stimulation, and maintaining healthy Normal mentality.

      Keep it clean:

      Evil toxins are easy to invade during menstruation, so the vulva must be kept clean, and sexual intercourse, bathing, and swimming are prohibited.

      Acupuncture medicine:

      If you have irregular menstruation, you can go to a professional institution to take care of yourself through acupuncture, massage, premenstrual moxa fumigation and other methods in your daily life. Those whose symptoms are not severe can choose to take some Chinese patent medicines according to different symptoms. For example, if menstruation is delayed or the amount is light, motherwort ointment, angelica ointment, Xiaoyao pills, etc. can be taken. Those with physical weakness and irregular menstruation can take Dingkun Dan, Wuji Baifeng Pills, donkey hide gelatin ointment, etc.
