Effects of irregular menstruation on the fetus

Irregular menstruation is a problem that many female friends have. In fact, for women with irregular menstruation, it is difficult to conceive, because irregular menstruation means that there is a problem with the uterus, which will naturally affect conception. There are many things to pay attention to when getting pregnant during irregular menstruation. The most important thing pregnant women need to do is to regulate their bodies properly first.

1. Why does irregular menstruation affect conception?

Conception is a complex and delicate process. With normal sperm and egg, the sperm and egg can meet, the egg can be fertilized and develop, and the fertilized egg can be implanted in the endometrium at the appropriate time. Finally, conception can be successful and develop into a fetus. This process is completely dependent on the normal functioning of the gonad axis. Problems in any link may affect conception.

Since abnormal menstruation often indicates problems with the gonad axis or uterus, it is not difficult to understand why menstrual disorders can affect conception. Of course, if a woman's uterus develops abnormally or has uterine lesions, she may still experience amenorrhea or abnormal menstruation even if the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis functions normally.

2. Will irregular menstruation affect fetal development?

For pregnant women who have suffered from irregular menstruation before, they should pay attention to rest after pregnancy, combine work and rest and avoid excessive fatigue. At this time, since women have just become pregnant, they must be careful not to take medicines randomly. In addition, women will not have bleeding symptoms under normal circumstances after pregnancy, so if women find vaginal bleeding, they should go to the hospital in time for treatment to preserve the fetus!

If a woman's menstrual disorders are caused by insufficient Qi and blood, Qi stagnation and blood stasis, she should pay attention to supplementing some Yin-nourishing foods, but do not eat too much, because this may cause the patient to have nutritional imbalance due to excessive supplementation, which is not conducive to the normal development of the fetus. Pregnant women should pay attention to understand the development of the fetus during each prenatal check-up and adjust their diet according to the examination results.

3. How to treat irregular menstruation

1. Treat the cause

For pathological causes, corresponding treatment is needed according to the specific cause.

2. Stop bleeding and correct anemia

It is caused by long menstrual period and heavy menstrual flow. In addition to general hemostatic measures, hormones or curettage may be used to stop bleeding as appropriate. Give oral blood-enriching drugs or infusion treatment.

3. Adjustment cycle

Estrogen and progesterone alone or in combination can be used for cyclical treatment, or traditional Chinese medicine can be used for treatment.

4. Infertility

Dysfunction of one or more links in the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis causes anovulation, which is one of the pathophysiological bases of menstrual disorders and one of the causes of infertility. It is a problem that many patients urgently need to solve. Some patients may ovulate but have insufficient luteal function, which can also cause infertility. Different treatments are selected according to the patient's condition to improve ovarian function or replace part of the function of the pituitary gland and hypothalamus.

5. Reduce the occurrence of menstrual disorders

Before puberty, children should learn and understand some health knowledge, have a correct understanding of the physiological phenomenon of menstruation, and eliminate fear and tension. During menstruation, you should keep warm and avoid cold stimulation; pay attention to rest, reduce fatigue, strengthen nutrition, and enhance physical fitness; you should try to control drastic mood swings, avoid strong mental stimulation, and maintain a happy mood.
