What happened to my period coming back half a month after it was over?

Irregular menstruation has always been a disease that troubles many women. The main symptoms of irregular menstruation are early or delayed menstruation and amenorrhea, etc. However, some women may have their menstruation come again half a month after the menstruation is over. The reasons for these situations are closely related to the care of women's physiological period, so women should master the details of care. So what's the matter with the menstruation coming again half a month after the menstruation is over?

First, what happens if the menstruation comes again half a month after it stops? Menstruation that comes once every half a month is mostly ovulation bleeding. This vaginal bleeding that looks like "menstruation" is actually not "menstruation" in the true sense. It bleeds for a shorter time and the amount of bleeding is relatively small. Ovulation bleeding is actually a physiological phenomenon. Currently, many people believe that it is related to changes in estrogen levels during ovulation.

Second, don’t compare the regularity of your menstrual cycle with others, but compare it with yourself. The length of menstrual cycles varies. The key to judging whether it is normal or not is to see whether a long-term pattern has been formed. If it has been like this for one or two years, the estrogen level in the body is normal, ovulation is normal, and there are no other discomforts, then it is normal. In addition to menstruation that occurs every 21-35 days and menstruation during amenorrhea, pregnancy, menopause, and early puberty, there is also a special type of normal menstruation, which occurs every 40 to 50 days, or once every two months, or once every three months, or even once a year. As long as a regular pattern is formed and no physical discomfort is caused, it is normal. Whether menstruation is normal or not also depends on other factors such as menstrual period and menstrual color. Regardless of the cycle, a normal menstrual period should be 3-7 days. A period of less than 3 days indicates that the corpus luteum function is low and the endometrium is shed quickly. Experts point out that in addition to the requirements of cycle and menstruation, normal menstrual bleeding is 30-50 ml, and the menstrual blood should be dark red, neither thin nor thick, not coagulated, without blood clots, and without special odor.

Why does menstruation come again half a month after the end? When the hormone secreted by the pituitary gland reaches a certain level, it will induce the follicles to gradually develop and mature. After the mature follicle ruptures, if the estrogen level in the body drops sharply to a point where it cannot maintain the continued growth of the endometrium, it can cause endometrial necrosis and shedding, resulting in breakthrough bleeding. As the corpus luteum formed by the follicle after ovulation secretes sufficient estrogen and progesterone, the ruptured endometrium can be quickly repaired and the bleeding can stop.
