Why does my period come ten days early?

Menstruation refers to the normal physiological phenomenon that mature women experience every month. It occurs mainly due to the shedding of the female endometrium. It usually lasts about three to seven days and is accompanied by some pain. Most women have a relatively standard menstrual cycle, which usually fluctuates within three days. However, sometimes there are some special circumstances, for example, menstruation suddenly comes about ten days earlier. What causes this?

There may be several reasons for early menstruation: 1. Blood heat. "Dan Xi's Heart Method" records: "If the menstruation does not come before the due date, it is blood heat." When a woman has excess yang in her body, consumes too much supplements and spicy food before and after menstruation, is depressed, suffers from long-term illness and loses a lot of blood, these conditions will cause "blood heat" in the human body. Blood heat can be divided into three types: real heat, blood heat, and liver depression turning into heat. So what is the relationship between blood heat and menstruation? When a woman's blood is hot, the blood temperature rises and the blood flow rate will increase, which will cause the menstrual period to come early.

2. Qi deficiency. "Jing Yue Quan Shu Fu Gui" talks about this: "If there is no fire in the pulse and the menstruation comes early or late, it is because the heart and spleen qi are deficient and cannot control the blood." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen regulates and manages the blood in the human body. If the human body has spleen deficiency, it will affect the normal blood circulation of the human body and cause menstruation to come early. Improper diet, excessive fatigue, staying up late, etc. can cause spleen damage and affect the normal function of the spleen.

3. In addition to blood heat and qi deficiency which can cause early menstruation, other reasons include neuroendocrine disorders, organic diseases, drug factors, etc., which can also cause early menstruation. Among them, organic diseases mainly refer to inflammation of the reproductive organs, tumors, abnormal development, and nutritional deficiencies. Thyroid, adrenal, diabetes, Sheehan's disease, etc. are other endocrine disorders that cause early menstruation.

If female friends find that their menstruation has come early, they don’t need to panic. Generally speaking, it is normal to have their period three to five days early. If it really happens ten days earlier, then female friends can choose to go to a pharmacy and ask for certain medications to improve the condition. Of course, you can also use diet therapy. Appropriate consumption of celery juice is a good choice for treating early menstruation in women.
