What should I do if my period keeps coming early?

Early menstruation is a symptom of irregular menstruation, which means that menstruation comes earlier than expected. If a woman's period always comes early, it may be a bad sign and a sign of aging. So what should you do if your period always comes early? In fact, it can be treated through diet, daily life and medication. So what issues should women pay attention to during menstruation?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that whether menstruation occurs normally is most closely related to the liver, spleen, kidneys and the Chong and Ren meridians.

Causes

1. Caused by organic disease or drugs

Causes of premature 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 disorders.

2. Caused by endocrine disorders

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

3. Caused by excessive yang energy in the body

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.

Qi deficiency. Doctors say that people who overwork or have irregular diets are most likely to damage their spleen, because the spleen is the "manager" of blood, once the "manager" is in a weak position, the "managed" will inevitably want to rebel, so menstruation comes early. If there is no fire in the pulse, then the menstruation is early or late because the heart and spleen are weak, so it cannot come on time.

Blood heat is very likely to occur when the body has excessive yang energy, or when a person is depressed, or eats spicy and stimulating food and supplements, or loses a lot of blood due to long-term illness. When the blood is hot, it will flow more quickly, which will lead to early menstruation.

4. Fertility status

Early menstruation is also related to fertility status. The older the age at conception, the earlier the menopause, and the fewer pregnancies, the earlier the menopause. This is because the older the age of first pregnancy, the fewer pregnancies there are, which causes women to ovulate more frequently and reach menopause earlier. In addition, the longer the breastfeeding period, the later the menopause. This is because ovulation will be affected during breastfeeding. If the breastfeeding period is prolonged, the number of ovulation will decrease, so the menopause will be later. Conversely, the shorter the breastfeeding period, the earlier the menopause. The color, quantity, quality and duration of early menstruation are basically the same as those of normal menstruation, while bleeding during menstruation often occurs on the 12th to 16th day of the menstrual period, lasting about 1 to 2 hours or 2 to 3 days, and the amount of menstruation is generally less.

The normal menstrual cycle is 21-35 days. If a woman's menstrual cycle is less than 21 days, or if irregular vaginal bleeding occurs, a B test is needed to screen for organic uterine diseases. If organic problems with the uterus are ruled out, early menstruation may be related to abnormal ovarian function. Ovarian dysfunction is related to external factors. External factors affect the secretion of hormones by the pituitary gland, which will manifest as early or delayed menstruation. You can take medication under the guidance of a doctor to adjust your menstruation.

The female menstrual cycle is generally 28-30 days. It is normal for menstruation to be 7 days earlier or later, and it cannot be considered as irregular menstruation. Is it normal to have your period 10 days early? If menstruation occurs 10 days early only occasionally and is not accompanied by obvious symptoms of discomfort, you can observe it without taking any action. However, if each menstruation is 10 days or even half a month early, you should pay attention to it. You should go to the hospital for a check-up in time, find out the cause of the early menstruation and actively seek treatment to avoid affecting your health.

If a woman experiences early menstruation, the first thing to do is to rule out physiological ovulation bleeding. Mental stress, anxiety, excessive work or study pressure, etc. can cause endocrine dysfunction, thereby affecting the menstrual cycle. In addition, luteal insufficiency, ovarian dysfunction, uterine fibroids, hyperthyroidism, tumors and other disease factors may lead to early menstruation.

2. A bad mood will hinder the adjustment of menstrual period, so you should be open-minded, comfortable and optimistic.

3. It is not advisable to participate in heavy labor or intense activities before and during the menstrual cycle.

4. Avoid eating foods that generate fire and increase heat, such as chili peppers, garlic, leeks, lettuce, cinnamon, coffee, pepper, lamb, dog meat, venison, and alcohol. Eat less shark, crab, hawthorn, peach, brown sugar and other foods that have blood-activating effects.
