Causes of short menstrual periods

Every woman has her period every month. Some women will have their period when they are less than ten years old. People usually say that such women are very smart. However, the menstrual period is different for every woman. My period is short. I believe that many women have similar situations. In fact, this must attract everyone's attention, because menstruation is very important. If the menstrual period is short, it must be regulated. However, many women do not understand this, and they are usually busy and don’t care about it.

The main reasons for short menstrual cycles in adult women are as follows:

1. Ovarian dysfunction and menopausal dysfunctional uterine bleeding are both causes of short menstrual cycles.

2. People with luteal insufficiency have a shorter menstrual cycle due to the shortening of the relatively fixed luteal phase.

3. Some patients with uterine fibroids have frequent menstruation, and their menstrual cycle becomes shorter due to frequent menstruation.

4. Some women who have heavy bleeding during ovulation may also experience frequent menstruation, which is also one of the reasons for a short menstrual cycle.

It is true that women are different from men. Men can continuously produce billions of sperm, while the number of eggs released by women in their lifetime is fixed. This is true. However, it does not mean that the eggs disappear after they are released. In fact, there are a large number of primordial follicles in the ovaries. Just like the youth league reserve, these primordial follicles are the reserve force of eggs. Although only one egg is released in each menstrual cycle, several follicles are actually recruited in each cycle. Among these recruited follicles, only one eventually becomes the dominant follicle, reaches maturity, and releases an egg, while the others degenerate on their own. Therefore, although a woman will release more than 400 eggs in her lifetime, this only accounts for 0.1% of the total number of follicles. Therefore, if your menstrual cycle is a few days shorter than others, you don't have to worry about premature aging. As mentioned earlier, everyone's luteal phase is a fixed 14 days. A few days shorter cycle just means that the follicles mature faster. You may just lay a few dozen more eggs than others, but your ovaries still have this foundation.

However, then again, although there are enough follicles for you to recruit in each cycle, the total number of follicles is determined when you are born. Unlike men's sperm, which can be produced continuously, it will only decrease and not increase. From this point of view, eggs are much more valuable than sperm. However, if for some reason the follicles are exhausted and ovarian failure occurs before the age of 40, this is medically known as premature ovarian failure. That is to say, there is a serious loss of reserve power for producing eggs. There is currently no good medical treatment for this type of infertility caused by premature ovarian failure.

The short menstrual period needs to attract everyone's attention. I believe you already have some understanding of it. Everyone must pay more attention to their own bodies. You need to master the normal menstrual time and compare it with your own. You can find out what problems exist in your body in time and need to adjust and treat it in time. Especially young women should not be so careless. If you have time, I hope you will learn more medical knowledge in this area.
