Dieting may cause menstrual irregularities

There are more and more obese people around us. The emergence of obesity not only affects our figure but also our physical health. Therefore, many friends are looking for ways to lose weight. Many female friends usually adopt dieting to lose weight, but we suggest that female friends should never blindly diet to lose weight, because dieting may cause symptoms of irregular menstruation in female friends.

Nowadays, many women have to face various pressures from work and life. Under such circumstances, it is very common to have irregular menstruation. In this article, we will introduce the specific factors of irregular menstruation to you, hoping to help you understand irregular menstruation.

1. Abnormal emotions

If women of childbearing age are under long-term stress, depressed, sulking, or suffer from major mental stimulation and psychological trauma, the function of the pituitary gland will be inhibited, causing the ovarian hormone level to decrease and ovulation to fail, and menstruation will begin to become disordered. Therefore, any abnormality in the function of the ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus will affect menstruation.

2. Greed for coolness

If women are exposed to cold during menstruation, the blood vessels in the pelvis will constrict, leading to ovarian dysfunction, which can cause too little menstrual flow or even amenorrhea.

3. Electromagnetic waves

Various household appliances and electronic devices will generate different electromagnetic waves during use. These electromagnetic waves will act on the human body for a long time and will have adverse effects on women's endocrine and reproductive functions, leading to endocrine disorders and menstrual disorders.

4. Constipation

Constipation may cause menstrual disorders in women. When the rectum is overfilled with stool, the cervix is ​​pushed forward and the uterine body tilts backward. If the uterus retroverts repeatedly over a long period of time, the veins in the broad ligament will be compressed and blocked, the uterine wall will become congested and easily lose elasticity. If the uterus remains in a retroverted position for a long time, back pain and menstrual disorders will occur.

5. Drug Abuse

Misuse or frequent use of large amounts of antibiotics can lead to menstrual disorders, anovulation, and amenorrhea in women. This may be because the drugs suppress and damage the body's own resistance, leading to body dysfunction.

6. Disco

Noise can cause female dysfunction and have adverse effects on menstruation and fertility.

7. Smoking

Nicotine in tobacco can reduce the secretion of sex hormones, thereby interfering with physiological processes related to menstruation and causing menstrual disorders. Women who smoke more than one pack a day are three times more likely to have irregular menstruation than non-smoking women.

8. Excessive dieting

According to relevant medical research, girls need fat to account for at least 7% of their body weight to experience menarche, and body fat must reach at least 20% of their body weight to maintain a normal menstrual cycle. Excessive dieting, due to insufficient energy intake, causes a large amount of fat and protein to be consumed in the body, resulting in estrogen synthesis disorders and obvious estrogen deficiency, affecting menstruation, and even causing scanty menstruation or amenorrhea. Therefore, women who pursue a slim body should avoid blindly dieting.

In the above, we introduced the many troubles that obesity brings us. We suggest that friends who want to lose weight must choose scientific methods and never sacrifice their health for the sake of losing weight. The above tells us that dieting may cause irregular menstruation.
