Non-menstrual period

Ovulation bleeding: small amount, lasting 1 to 3 days, the cause is unknown. It is not clear whether it is caused by excessive drop in blood estrogen levels before ovulation or excessive sensitivity of the endometrium to estrogen fluctuations. Bleeding occurs sometimes and does not occur sometimes, and is generally treated symptomatically to stop bleeding.

Premenstrual bleeding (luteal phase bleeding): lasts for varying days. It may be due to insufficient luteal function or premature degeneration. Progesterone can be supplemented before bleeding, or medication can be used during the follicular phase to improve luteal function.

Prolonged menstrual period (follicular phase bleeding): lasting for more than 7 days and still not stopping, it may be due to insufficient estrogen secretion by new follicles, poor endometrial repair, or abnormal corpus luteum degeneration, causing incomplete endometrial shedding. Small doses of estrogen can be given from day 5 to 7 of the menstrual cycle to promote endometrial repair, or progesterone can be used during the luteal phase of the premenstrual cycle to promote regular endometrial shedding.

If non-menstrual bleeding occurs, you should also pay attention to organic diseases, such as cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, atypical endometrial hyperplasia or polyps, etc.

When menstruation comes, female friends should pay great attention to dietary conditioning, try to avoid eating spicy food, and also pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm. Make a reasonable schedule and give yourself enough time to rest, so as to ensure a healthier body.
