What are the causes of menstrual disorders in women?

Female menstrual disorders are what we often call irregular menstruation. It is a relatively common gynecological disease. Once it occurs, the impact it brings to the female body cannot be underestimated. There are many factors that lead to menstrual disorders, which may be caused by illness or excessive stress. A systematic understanding is very necessary. So, what are the causes of menstrual disorders in women? Let’s take a closer look below.

Internal factors

1. Caused by neuroendocrine dysfunction: mainly due to unstable or defective function of the lower hindbrain-stomach-ovary axis, that is, menstrual disease.

2. Caused by organic diseases or drugs, including local inflammation, tumors and developmental abnormalities of the reproductive organs, malnutrition; intracranial diseases; other endocrine dysfunctions such as thyroid and adrenal cortex dysfunction, diabetes, Sheehan's disease, etc.; liver diseases; blood diseases, etc. Menstrual irregularities may occur in women who use drugs to treat mental illnesses, endocrine preparations, or intrauterine devices for contraception. Certain occupations, such as long-distance runners, are prone to amenorrhea. In addition, some abnormal bleeding during pregnancy is often mistaken for menstrual irregularities.

In clinical diagnosis of neuroendocrine dysfunctional menstrual disorders, the above-mentioned organic causes must be excluded.

External factors

Reason 1: Pressure

The daily work pace keeps 25-year-old Li Na busy. Once, Li Na was surprised to find that her "good friend" who had just been away for more than ten days came again. Why does it happen twice in a month? If you think about it carefully, my menstruation has not been very "regular" for a long time. Sometimes it comes early, sometimes late, and the amount is more than before.

After ruling out the possibility of organic disease, the doctor asked about Li Na's life and told her with certainty that it was her long-term excessive stress that led to mental tension, which caused endocrine disorders and changed the menstrual pattern.

If women of childbearing age are under long-term stress, the function of the pituitary gland will be suppressed, causing the ovaries to no longer secrete female hormones and ovulate, and menstruation will begin to become disordered. Similarly, long-term depression, sulking or bad mood can also affect menstruation.

The above is an introduction to the causes of menstrual disorders in women. I hope it will be helpful for women to understand. We can see that there are quite a lot of factors that lead to menstrual disorders. No matter what causes the symptoms, we should take appropriate measures to solve them according to our own situation, so that menstruation can return to normal levels as soon as possible.
