Two menstrual periods per month

Some people have their periods twice a month. For most people, this is an abnormal phenomenon. However, some people have a very short menstrual cycle, which is related to their personal constitution and genetic factors. Therefore, we need to understand our own situation and then carry out targeted treatment. If menstruation is too frequent, you should consider whether you have vaginal inflammation and tumor-related diseases, which must be treated immediately. So, what are the factors that lead to having two periods per month?

1. "Ovulation bleeding. Western medicine calls it ovulation bleeding, while traditional Chinese medicine calls it "intermenstrual bleeding." Some people only have a small amount of brown discharge, which usually lasts for half a day or 2-3 days, and no more than 7 days at most, and may be accompanied by mild ovulation pain and back pain. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is required, but if the symptoms are obvious and may affect fertility, treatment should be given.

2. Functional uterine bleeding. It usually manifests itself in irregular menstrual cycles, heavy menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual periods or irregular bleeding. Due to long-term bleeding, some people also suffer from varying degrees of anemia.

3. If menstruation is delayed for 7-10 days before bleeding occurs, do not assume that it is definitely late. You should pay attention to whether the amount, color, and duration of bleeding are the same as normal menstruation. If the menstrual blood is sometimes more and sometimes less, and is continuous, and is accompanied by abdominal pain, you should be careful about the possibility of ectopic pregnancy or threatened abortion; if the bleeding is more than usual, lasts longer, and dysmenorrhea is obvious, it is more common in uterine fibroids or endometriosis. It is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly.

4. The phenomenon of vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse is called contact bleeding, which is often related to gynecological diseases such as vaginitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, early cervical cancer, submucosal myoma, etc.

5. Some women may also experience vaginal bleeding after taking emergency contraceptive pills. Emergency contraceptive pills can affect the menstrual cycle, especially repeated use can lead to menstrual disorders, bleeding, and continuous spotting. It should also be reminded that some women may have their menstruation affected due to the abuse of some "health products" containing hormones, such as breast enhancement medicines, creams, etc.
