What are the causes of early menstruation?

Menstruation is something that every mature woman must go through every month, but many women find that their menstruation is always early, some three or two days early, and some even ten days early. Most people are not very clear about the reasons for early menstruation, and think that this is a private matter, so they always choose to endure it silently. So what are the reasons for early menstruation? Let’s take a look together!

The normal menstrual cycle of women is about 28 days. If the menstrual cycle is always more than 7 days early, or even occurs twice within a month, it is called "premature menstruation", also known as "early menstruation" or "early menstruation". If it is only 3 to 5 days ahead of schedule and there are no other obvious symptoms, it is within the normal range. Occasionally, the menstrual period comes ahead of schedule, but it is not considered as an early menstrual period.

Early menstruation is a symptom of irregular 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. The causes of early menstruation are mainly endocrine disorders, blood heat, qi deficiency and other factors.

Causes of early menstruation

1. Mood fluctuations. Extreme joy or sorrow, and high pressure from life and work can all affect women's endocrine system, leading to early menstruation.

2. Changes in living environment. Changes in the external environment, such as moving and job transfer, can cause menstrual cycle disorders in some women.

3. Organic diseases of the body. Gynecological inflammation, thyroid disease, brain tumors, these diseases can disrupt women's menstrual cycle and cause early menstruation.

4. The impact of the IUD. Some women experience early menstruation after wearing an IUD.

5. Influence of drugs. Some medications can cause endocrine disorders in women after taking them, such as some contraceptives, chemotherapy drugs, and drugs for treating mental illness. After stopping taking them, menstruation will generally gradually return to normal.

6. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that qi deficiency and blood heat are the causes of early menstruation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people with qi deficiency have weak spleen and people with blood heat have rapid blood flow, both of which can cause early menstruation.

In short, the cause of early menstruation has a lot to do with women's emotions and living environment. In addition, the placement of an intrauterine contraceptive ring will also affect menstruation. If early menstruation occurs frequently, it is best to go to the hospital for a detailed examination, find out the cause, and receive symptomatic treatment.
