How to advance or delay your period

Menstruation can affect a woman's normal life, so many women don't want to be on their period when doing important things on important occasions. So women at this time will try every means to postpone or advance their menstruation, because menstruation will not only make a woman's body feel weak, but also make a woman's emotions very unstable. So what should be done to postpone or advance a woman's menstruation?

How to bring your period earlier or later

1. Women can take a low dose of progesterone one month before their period to prevent their period from coming, and then stop taking the medicine seven days before their period. They can then plan their period to come on that day. Using this method to bring forward menstruation will cause less harm to the female body, and low doses of luteinizing hormone will not cause too much damage to the ovaries. The disadvantage is that it requires early preparation.

2. Advancing menstruation can be divided into mild and rapid types. For mild type, low-dose progesterone is taken one month before menstruation to prevent menstruation. Then the medication can be stopped 7 days after the expected menstruation. Then the menstruation can be planned to come on that day. The rapid type refers to supplementing a large amount of progesterone at one time, which is also known as the menstruation-inducing injection, which makes the endometrium thicken and shed early. Menstruation will come 3 or 4 days after the injection. It should be injected 7 to 10 days before the expected menstrual date. If menstruation still does not come after taking the menstruation-inducing injection, it may be that the progesterone supplement is insufficient, or that you are pregnant, or there may be other diseases that require further diagnosis and treatment.

3. For those with regular menstruation, you can start taking oral contraceptive pills 3-5 days before your period, one pill every night, continuously until the end of the activity. Your period will come 3-5 days after stopping the medication.

4. Take "21+7" short-acting contraceptive pills 7 days before your period. If you take the pills every day, you won't have your period and it can also prevent pregnancy. You can stop taking the pills when you want your period.

5. Rose tea and dried lemon slices can be used to make tea every day. Rose can invigorate blood circulation, and lemon can increase vitamin C, which has an effect on menstruation. Of course, lemon can also be replaced by other things containing vitamin C, such as kiwi, tangerine, orange, tomato, etc. But I think it is more convenient to make tea with dried lemon and rose directly.

6. You can eat some spicy food. Some people have tried it and found that eating spicy food before menstruation will bring forward the menstruation. Also, some people's taste will become heavier before menstruation, so they choose to eat spicy food. However, you cannot do this for a long time, otherwise it will cause dysmenorrhea, etc.

Delay menstruation

1. Taking birth control pills

As the name suggests, contraceptive pills are a type of medicine that prevents women from getting pregnant after having sexual intercourse. It achieves its contraceptive effect by affecting endocrine system. In fact, taking birth control pills can also prolong menstruation. It should be said that most women have had this experience, that is, after taking birth control pills, their menstruation will be delayed. So if you need to delay your period, it is recommended that you start taking birth control pills one month in advance and take them every day. However, birth control pills can cause many side effects, such as indigestion, gastrointestinal discomfort and other problems.

2. Non-hormonal drugs

Non-hormonal drugs can delay the onset of menstruation. It is recommended to start taking them on the fifth day after the last menstruation, and then take them every day.

3. Progesterone

There are many progesterone drugs in life that can delay menstruation. Such as Fukang tablets, Funingkang and other medicines.

However, no matter what method is used, it violates the normal physiological function, so it is recommended that women do not prolong menstruation unless it is absolutely necessary. If you are worried that menstruation will affect your normal life, it is recommended that you make adequate preparations in advance. For example, change sanitary napkins frequently, or wear sanitary safety pants, sanitary pads, etc. In fact, if these are prepared in advance, there is no need to worry about any unexpected events during menstruation.
