8 days early

If your period comes eight days early, don't be too anxious. In fact, a week late or a week early is still within the normal range. If it comes too early, you should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination, because it means that your menstruation is not normal. If it continues for a long time, the color of your menstruation will change and become brown.

Blood clots

What are the blood clots discharged during menstruation? The doctor's explanation is: if menstrual blood is blocked in the same area and not discharged in time, blood clots will form after 5 to 10 minutes of accumulation. Blood clots usually occur in the morning when you first wake up or after sitting for a long time.

Menstrual blood color: Normal menstrual blood is dark red, viscous and free of clots. If the menstrual blood is as thin as water, pink, black or purple, or is completely blood clots, it is abnormal and you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Menstrual period: Women's menstrual period is about 3-7 days. The heaviest bleeding is concentrated in the first 3 days, and then gradually decreases until the menstrual blood stops. For some people, menstrual blood comes back a little after a day or two after the menstrual blood stops, which is commonly known as "menstrual blood comes back". This is also a normal phenomenon. However, some people's menstrual period lasts for 10-20 days, and the menstrual period is endless; some people's menstrual period is very short and it just passes in a flash. Both of these phenomena are abnormal.

Menstruation no longer comes

If you don't have your period, you should first rule out the possibility of pregnancy. If you are not pregnant, you should review your lifestyle: travel, stress, strenuous exercise, excessive weight loss and climate change can affect your menstrual cycle. Hormonal and thyroid imbalances can also lead to longer menstrual cycles. In addition, suffering from polycystic ovarian cysts or taking progesterone oral contraceptives for a long time can also prolong the menstrual cycle.

Early menstruation

You will not get pregnant if your menstruation comes early. Usually, women with normal menstrual cycles are more likely to conceive, and they will not have menstruation after becoming pregnant.

Since irregular menstruation will affect normal ovulation, it will of course affect pregnancy. However, irregular menstruation is only a symptom. To treat irregular menstruation, we should first find out the cause of the irregularity. Each link in the reproductive endocrine axis must be in a normal state. If there is a problem in any link, the corresponding hormone level will also change.

And usually there will be no menstruation after pregnancy. This is because the human chorionic gonadotropin produced after a woman becomes pregnant cannot convert the corpus luteum of the ovary into the corpus luteum of pregnancy, and the ovarian function continues to be active, resulting in a small amount of monthly vaginal bleeding. After 3 to 4 months of pregnancy, the sex hormones secreted by the placenta replace the ovarian function, so there will be no menstruation. However, some women still find a small amount of vaginal bleeding after becoming pregnant. In fact, that is not menstruation, and the possibility of ectopic pregnancy should be considered.

Self-treatment precautions

(1) It is not advisable to engage in heavy labor or intense activities before and during menstruation.

(2) Avoid eating foods that generate heat, such as chili peppers, garlic, leeks, lettuce, cinnamon, coffee, pepper, lamb, dog meat, venison, and alcohol. Eat less shark, crab, hawthorn, peach, brown sugar and other foods that have blood-activating effects.

(3) Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

(4) Being irritable will hinder menstrual regulation, so it is better to be open-minded, calm and optimistic.
