Is it normal to have your period 10 days early?

Menstruation is a phenomenon unique to every adult woman. It occurs every month and is quite painful. However, some women find that their menstruation comes more than ten days earlier. They are worried about whether this is normal or not. Let's hear what professionals say about this! The following article will explain it in great detail. I hope that through the following introduction, everyone can understand this issue.

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 "early menstrual cycle", also known as "early menstruation" or "early menstruation". If it is only 3-5 days ahead of schedule and there are no other significant 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.

Therefore, if menstruation comes 10 days early only occasionally, it is generally not a big deal. But if menstruation comes 10 days early every time, it may not be normal and you need to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up.

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.

Reasons for 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.
