My period came back just a week after it was over. What's going on?

As we all know, menstruation usually occurs once a month, and each period lasts about a week. However, today's lifestyle, environmental pollution, and increased hormones in food have caused most women to have irregular menstruation. Irregular menstruation may lead to certain diseases and is a sign of unhealthy body. So, why does your period come again just a week after it ended? Let us find out through the following.

There are three main reasons for irregular menstruation in women:

1. Caused by neuroendocrine dysfunction: mainly due to unstable or defective function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, that is, menstrual disorders.

2. Caused by ovarian problems: Menstrual irregularities in women of childbearing age are generally due to poor ovarian corpus luteum function, which often manifests as a cycle, but a shortened cycle, or heavy menstrual bleeding.

3. Caused by organic diseases or drugs, including local inflammation, tumors and developmental abnormalities, malnutrition of reproductive organs; 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.

Through the introduction above, I believe you have already understood why your period comes again just one week after it ended. There are many reasons that lead to irregular menstruation, and we must pay more attention to them, especially some hormone-containing foods. We should try to eat less and try not to take birth control pills. This is very harmful to women. We should also pay attention to nutritional supplements in our daily lives.
