My period came within 20 days.

Women's menstrual cycles are generally regular. However, some girls may have their menstruation advanced or delayed due to physical reasons or changes in their living environment, but it usually does not exceed 3-5 days. If the time is too long, disease factors will be considered and girls need to pay attention to it. If menstruation comes after about 20 days, it is usually caused by vaginitis and you need to go to the gynecology department for examination in time. So, what is the reason why menstruation comes within 20 days?

1. What is the cause of early menstruation?

1. Caused by organic disease or drugs

Causes of early menstruation include organic diseases or drugs, including local inflammation, tumors and developmental abnormalities, malnutrition of the reproductive organs; intracranial diseases; other endocrine dysfunctions such as thyroid gland disorders.

2. Caused by endocrine disorders

The cause of early menstruation is neuroendocrine dysfunction: mainly the unstable or defective function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, that is, menstrual disorder.

3. Blood heat

The reasons for early menstruation include excessive yang energy in the body, excessive consumption of spicy food and supplements, depression, or excessive blood loss due to long-term illness, which are all prone to blood heat. When the blood becomes hot, it flows more slowly and the rate of blood flow also increases, causing menstruation to come earlier.

4. Qi deficiency

People who have irregular diet or overwork are most likely to damage their temper. The spleen is the "manager" of blood. If the "manager" is weak, the "managed" will inevitably take the opportunity to "make trouble", causing menstruation to come early. As the Jingyue Complete Book of Women's Regulations states: "If there is no fire in the pulse and the menstruation is early and not on time, it is because the heart and spleen qi are weak and cannot control the disease.

2. Precautions during menstruation

1. Keep a happy spirit, avoid mental stimulation and mood swings. Some people may experience lower abdominal distension, back pain, breast pain, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability or depression during menstruation. These are all normal and there is no need to be overly nervous.

2. Pay attention to hygiene and prevent infection. Pay attention to the hygiene of the external genitalia. You must not have sexual intercourse during menstruation. Keep warm and avoid cold stimulation. Avoid overwork. People with heavy menstrual bleeding should avoid eating brown sugar.

3. Underwear should be soft, made of cotton, with good ventilation and air permeability. It should be washed and changed frequently, and the changed underwear should be dried in the sun.

4. Avoid eating raw, cold, sour, spicy and other irritating foods. Drink more boiled water to keep your bowel movements smooth. People with hot blood should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables before menstruation, and avoid eating things that stimulate fire such as onions, garlic, leeks, and ginger. People with qi and blood deficiency must increase their nutrition in daily life, such as milk, eggs, soy milk, pork liver, spinach, pork, chicken, lamb, etc., and avoid eating raw and cold fruits and vegetables.
