Why does my menstruation stop after a while?

We all know that women have menstruation every month. This is a very normal physiological phenomenon and is also good for women's health. If menstruation is abnormal, it may be because the woman had some problems with her body before, especially gynecological diseases, which can easily lead to abnormal menstruation. Some women experience menstruation disappearing immediately after it comes. Why is this?

If your period comes for a while and then stops, it proves that this is not true menstruation, but bleeding during ovulation.

During the middle of the menstrual cycle, that is, during ovulation, due to a brief drop in estrogen levels, the endometrium loses hormonal support and some endometrium sheds, causing regular vaginal bleeding, which is called ovulation bleeding. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "intermenstrual bleeding."

reason

After the mature follicle ruptures and ovulates, the estrogen level drops sharply and significantly, which cannot maintain the growth of the endometrium, causing local rupture and shedding of the endometrial surface, resulting in breakthrough bleeding. With the formation of the corpus luteum of the ovary, sufficient amounts of estrogen and progesterone are secreted to quickly repair the ruptured endometrial surface and stop the bleeding. Or it is possible that during ovulation, the mature follicles secrete more estrogen, causing endometrial congestion and leakage of red blood cells. It is also possible that when the egg is captured in the fallopian tube fimbria, the blood-containing follicular fluid is sent to the uterine cavity through retrograde peristalsis of the fallopian tube and then flows out of the cervix through the vagina. It has been reported that when examining the cervical mucus of women who ovulate during the mid-term period, it was found that about 60% of them had red blood cells under a microscope, but no bleeding was visible to the naked eye. This is not a pathological phenomenon; but women with ovulation bleeding must rule out other reproductive tract diseases, such as irregular menstruation, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, endometrial polyps, submucosal uterine fibroids, and other gynecological diseases.

Western medicine treatment of ovulation bleeding

Small doses of estrogen can be taken orally. For example, Progynova should be taken from the 8th to 10th day of the menstrual cycle and last for 3 to 7 days. You can also take a small amount of hemostatic drugs, such as Anluoxue. According to different syndromes, Chinese medicine treatment can include oral administration of Zhibai Dihuang Pills (yin deficiency), Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills (liver depression), Ankun Granules (damp heat), Longxuejie Tablets (blood stasis), Shenling Baizhu Powder (spleen deficiency), etc., or oral decoctions, and good therapeutic effects can be achieved in combination with acupuncture.
