Reasons for more or less menstrual period

For women, it is important to pay attention to changes in all aspects of their body. Although menstruation is a physiological period that every woman has, the condition of menstruation also reflects some problems in our body. More or less menstruation is a symptom that seems common but hides many potential dangers. Next, we will introduce to you in detail the reasons why menstruation is more or less.

1. Abnormal emotions cause menstrual disorders

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 affect menstruation.

2. Cold stimulation causes oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea

According to research, women who are exposed to cold during menstruation will experience excessive contraction of blood vessels in the pelvis, which can cause oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea. Therefore, women should have a regular daily life, avoid excessive fatigue, and especially keep away from cold and damp during menstruation.

3. Dieting causes irregular menstruation

Expert studies on excessive dieting show that girls need body fat to account for at least 17% of their body weight to experience menarche, and body fat must reach at least 22% of their body weight to maintain a normal menstrual cycle. Excessive dieting will cause a large amount of fat and protein in the body to be consumed due to insufficient energy intake, resulting in estrogen synthesis disorders and obvious estrogen deficiency, affecting menstruation, or even causing scanty menstruation or amenorrhea. Therefore, women who pursue a slim figure must not diet blindly.

4. Smoking and drinking cause irregular menstruation

Certain components in tobacco smoke and alcohol can interfere with physiological processes related to menstruation and cause menstrual disorders. 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.

The above content is an introduction to the reasons for the amount of menstruation. If a woman has this situation for a long time, she must go to the hospital for a detailed examination. Many gynecological diseases have such symptoms. Don’t ignore them. It is also necessary to actively condition your body. You can condition it through diet and Chinese medicine.
