What if my period comes a week early?

Menstruation coming one week early is a sign of irregular menstruation. In our lives, many women are troubled by this situation. Normally, women's menstrual cycle is 28-30 days, and menstruation coming 3-10 days early is also normal and does not constitute irregular menstruation. Therefore, there is no need to worry about occasional early menstruation, but if this happens frequently, then you must pay attention, check in time and actively receive treatment.

There are many reasons that lead to early menstruation, most of which are pathological reasons, including endocrine disorders, gynecological diseases, mental stress, anemia, etc. In addition. Ovarian disease and endometrial disease can also cause early menstruation, so we need to check to determine the real cause of irregular menstruation.

What happens if menstruation comes early?

The normal menstrual cycle of women is about 28 days. If the period comes only 3-5 days early and there are no other obvious discomfort symptoms, it is normal. But if this situation occurs for a long time, it should be taken seriously. Possible causes of early menstruation include:

Suffering from certain medical conditions

Including local inflammation, tumors and developmental abnormalities of the reproductive organs, malnutrition; intracranial diseases; other endocrine dysfunctions such as thyroid diseases, or long-term medication, which can cause irregular menstruation.

Endocrine dysfunction

The main problem is that the function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis is unstable or defective, that is, menstrual disease.

Bad living habits

If women consume excessive amounts of spicy food and supplements for a long time, or if they are depressed for a long time, or if they lose a lot of blood due to long-term illness, they are prone to blood heat, which can also cause early menstruation.

Blood heat and qi deficiency

People who are usually in low spirits, depressed, or have lost a lot of blood due to long-term illness are prone to heat in the blood. When the blood is hot, it will flow in an inefficient way and the flow rate will also increase, causing the menstrual period to come early. People who have irregular diet or overwork are most likely to damage their temper. The spleen is the "manager" of blood. If the spleen does not function well, it will cause problems with blood supply and cause early menstruation.

Ovarian disease

The ovaries are the "source of life" for women and are in charge of their bodies, appearance, fertility, etc. The decline in their function leads to a rapid decline in body functions, sub-health, rapid aging, and repeated attacks of gynecological inflammation. If not reversed in time, it may cause major gynecological diseases such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and infertility. Especially if there are irregular menstruation, infrequent menstruation, early menstruation, etc., these are often signs of premature ovarian failure.

This is the end of the explanation about what happens when menstruation comes a week early. If women occasionally experience early or delayed menstruation, then they do not need to worry. However, if this situation continues for a long time, then we need to pay attention and must actively check to see what disease is causing it. As long as we cure the disease, we can get rid of the problem of early menstruation.
