Female hormone cycle changes

The trend of hormone changes during the physiological cycle, under the synergistic effect of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone converted into growth hormone, the eggs in the uterus and ovaries gradually grow and mature, and produce estrogen, which causes the uterine wall to undergo proliferative changes. After the uterus is fully developed, the body's estrogen levels reach their first peak.

Changes in growth hormone during the physiological cycle

For many women, they pay attention to their own bodies, but they don’t know much about many things. Take the most common menstrual period as an example. Many women only know the reason for their periods, but they can’t actually explain it. Therefore, it is also very important to understand how hormones change during the menstrual cycle. So how does growth hormone change during the physiological cycle?

You know, about 14 days after ovulation, the corpus luteum shrinks and stops secreting estrogen and estradiol. At this time, the blood vessels in the uterine wall contract, and the endometrium dies and falls off, causing bleeding and menstruation.

The relationship between the changes in blood hormones during a normal menstrual cycle and the ovaries and uterine wall is as follows: after the corpus luteum shrinks in the previous menstrual cycle, the secretion of estrogen and estradiol decreases, eliminating the inhibition of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The gonadotropin produced by the hypothalamus-pituitary gland releases growth hormone, which enters the anterior pituitary gland through the hypothalamic portal vein, promoting the metabolism and release of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone into growth hormone. Under the synergistic effect of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone converted into growth hormone, the eggs in the ovaries of the uterus gradually grow and mature, and produce estrogen, which causes the uterine wall to undergo proliferative changes. After the uterus is fully developed, the body's estrogen levels reach their first peak.

The increase in estrogen secretion has a feedback effect on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, inhibiting the production of follicle-stimulating hormone, promoting the increase in the metabolism of luteinizing hormone into growth hormone, resulting in a peak in the conversion of luteinizing hormone into growth hormone, and starting the ovulation period. After ovulation, estrogen levels temporarily decrease, followed by a second, lower peak. A large amount of estrogen and estrogens secreted by progesterone inhibit the hypothalamus and pituitary gland through negative feedback effect, which reduces the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone into growth hormone, and progesterone begins to shrink. After the corpus luteum shrinks, the secretion of female hormones and estrogen decreases, and the uterine wall cannot be supplied by estrogen, resulting in necrosis and shedding, leading to the onset of menstruation. After the corpus progesterone shrinks, it also eliminates the inhibition on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, allowing gonadotropin to be released and growth hormone to be metabolized again, thus starting another physiological cycle.

The 10 days after the end of the menstrual period is the stage when the body's estrogen metabolism is abundant, and the skin metabolism is the fastest and the absorption of nutrients is the best. Why not make good use of these 10 days to give the skin deeper nourishment.

What should I do if I have menstrual pain?

Once menstrual pain occurs, don't panic or worry, and see a doctor for treatment. You should pay attention to exercise, enhance immunity, have a regular daily life, make reasonable time arrangements, improve nutrition, and ensure adequate sleep; pay attention to keeping warm during menstruation, do not do strenuous exercise, do not take cold baths or swim; eliminate the psychological fear of menstruation and relax your stressful mentality. When menstrual cramps occur, you can apply a warm hand bag to your abdomen, drink some ginger tea, or take painkillers appropriately. If you have severe menstrual pain, you must go to the hospital for treatment.

Treating menstrual pain caused by qi deficiency and blood stasis

Prescription: 9 grams of purple salvia miltiorrhiza, 7 grams of Chuanxiong, 6 grams each of raw pollen and lindera stalk, 5 grams each of aconite, cyperus rotundus, red peony root, and peach kernel, 3.5 grams of angelica dahurica, and 3 grams of cinnamon powder.

Usage: Grind into powder and take 10 grams each time 3 days before menstruation. Take once a day, with brown sugar and drain water, stop taking after menstruation.
