Irregular menstruation is a problem that many female friends will encounter. Its main manifestations are abnormalities in the menstrual cycle or amount of bleeding, or abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before menstruation or during menstrration.
Irregular menstruation not only brings a lot of trouble to women, but also leads to obvious spots on women's skin, loose, dull, pore enlargement, roughness, acne continuously, insomnia, excessive dreaming, irritability, anger, decline in energy and physical strength, memory loss, etc., bringing great trouble to women who love beauty.
Then, what factors lead to irregular menstruation?
Gynecological experts introduced that irregular menstruation may be caused by organic lesions or functional abnormalities. For example: blood disease, hypertension, liver disease, endocrine disease, abortion, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, genital tract infection, tumors (such as ovarian tumor, uterine fibroid), etc. can all cause irregular menstruation. However, apart from diseases, many bad habits of female friends may also lead to irregular menstruation.
Then, which bad habits can lead to irregular menstruation?
Experts introduced that the bad habits leading to irregular menstruation can be summarized into the following four points:
[1] Abnormal emotions: Long-term mental oppression, sulking or suffering from major mental stimulation and psychological trauma can all lead to irregular menstruation or dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is formed by the stimulation of hormones secreted by the ovary on the endometrium, and the secretion of hormones by the ovary is controlled by the release of hormones by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Therefore, whether it is the function of the ovary, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus that occurs abnormality, it will affect menstruation.
[2] Irregular living habits: According to research, cold stimulation during women's menstruation can cause excessive contraction of blood vessels in the pelvis, causing oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea. Therefore, women should have regular daily life, avoid excessive fatigue, especially during menstruation, they should prevent cold and dampness.
[3] Excessive dieting: Relevant experts have studied that a girl's fat must account for at least 17% of her body weight in order to experience menarche, and the fat in the body must reach at least 22% of the body weight to maintain a normal menstrual cycle. Excessive dieting, due to insufficient energy intake in the body, causes a large amount of fat and protein in the body to be consumed, resulting in obstacles in the synthesis of estrogen and obvious deficiency, affecting menstruation, or even oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea. Therefore, women who pursue a slim figure should not blindly diet.
[4] Smoking and drinking: Some components in cigarette smoke and alcohol can interfere with the physiological processes related to menstruation, causing irregular menstruation. Among women who smoke and drink excessively, 25%-32% of them seek medical treatment for irregular menstruation. Among women who smoke more than one pack per day or drink more than 100 milligrams of strong liquor, those with irregular menstruation are three times more than non-smoking and non-drinking women. Therefore, women should not smoke and drink less alcohol.
Experts remind that since women's resistance is weaker during menstruation and they are prone to wind evil (cold), female friends should pay attention to keeping warm during menstruation. Do not consume alcoholic beverages; caffeine-containing drinks; eat more fiber (helps remove excess estrogen in the body), whole grains (barley is not only rich in fiber, but also contains a large amount of magnesium), beans, roasted chicken, baked fish, eating protein snacks between meals can effectively regulate irregular menstruation in women.
