Causes of irregular menstruation

Menstruation is a physiological characteristic of women, and women have to experience menstruation once every month. However, some women are very dissatisfied with their unstable menstruation and think that it will cause harm to their bodies. Therefore, there are many women with unstable menstruation who want to understand the reasons for their unstable menstruation for the sake of their stable and healthy menstruation.

The main problem is that the function of the lower hindbrain-stomach-ovary axis is unstable or defective, that is, menstrual disease.

2. Irregular menstruation caused by abnormal emotions

Abnormal emotions, long-term mental depression, sulking, or severe mental stimulation and psychological trauma can all lead to menstrual disorders or dysmenorrhea or amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is caused by the stimulation of the endometrium by hormones secreted by the ovaries, and the hormones secreted by the ovaries are controlled by the release of hormones from the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Therefore, any abnormality in the function of the ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus will lead to abnormal menstruation.

3. Smoking and drinking cause irregular menstruation

Certain components in tobacco smoke and alcohol can interfere with physiological processes related to menstruation and lead to abnormal menstruation. Among women who smoke and drink excessively, 25%-32% go to the hospital for treatment due to irregular menstruation. Among women who smoke more than one pack of cigarettes a day or drink more than 100 mg of strong liquor, the incidence of irregular menstruation is three times that of women who do not smoke or drink. Therefore, women should not smoke and drink less alcohol.

There are many reasons for women's unstable menstruation. The current stressful life and female diseases can cause unstable menstruation and endanger women's menstrual health. Therefore, for women, after understanding the above content, in addition to changing some bad habits, it is best to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination and ensure the stability of menstruation as soon as possible through correct treatment and dietary adjustment.
