Is it better to have your period earlier or later?

Most women have irregular menstruation, and there are always a few months when their menstruation is delayed or postponed. This makes female friends very worried about whether there is something wrong with their body, because menstruation can also reflect a woman's physical health very well, especially many gynecological diseases can be inferred by observing menstruation. So is it better to have your period earlier or later?

1. Is it better for women to have their menstruation earlier or later?

1. Women under 35

Of course, a regular menstrual cycle is the best, but if it is simply about early or late menstruation, it still depends on age. If you are a young woman under 35 years old, it doesn't matter if your menstruation is early or late, and there is no need to worry. Emotional instability, emotional impulses, environmental changes, pregnancy, abortion, childbirth and any other factors can cause young women's menstruation to be advanced or delayed.

2. Women over 40

For women over 40, they have entered middle age. Their physical condition is no longer as good as when they were young. Generally speaking, delayed menstruation is better than early menstruation. There is no problem with one or two early menstruation occasionally, but everyone will be affected by psychological pressure. However, if it occurs earlier every month and forms a new pattern, for example, it used to be once every 30 days but now becomes once every 26 days, it may be the earliest sign of menopause.

2. Reasons for delayed menstruation

1. Pregnancy: Generally, pregnancy can be detected 7 days after intercourse. If a woman of childbearing age has had sexual intercourse before and her period is delayed for more than a week, she should consider whether she is pregnant.

2. Drug factors : Studies have shown that long-term use of birth control pills, emergency contraceptive pills, gastrokinetic drugs such as metoclopramide, etc. can cause delayed menstruation.

3. Mental factors : Delayed menstruation is mostly related to mental stress. If a woman is too nervous or under too much work pressure, it may lead to delayed menstruation, dysmenorrhea, or even amenorrhea. This is all normal and there is no need to be overly nervous.

4. Influence of diseases : Menstrual conditions are closely related to women’s physical health. Diseases such as cervical adhesions, premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovary syndrome, abnormal thyroid function, and severe iron deficiency anemia can all lead to delayed menstruation.

5. Changes in lifestyle habits or living environment : Bad lifestyle habits such as staying up late, excessive dieting, addiction to smoking and drinking, and greed for raw and cold food have a great impact on women's menstruation.
