What are the factors that affect menstruation?

Many female friends often complain that their menstruation is irregular and they have various symptoms. So what are the causes of irregular menstruation? The editor will share some with you below, let’s take a look!

Those who have not had their period after the age of 16 should pay attention. In recent years, the age of menarche has tended to be earlier. If menstruation comes too early, you should pay attention to the problem of precocious puberty. If menstruation comes too late, you should pay attention to whether there are any genital or systemic diseases. The early or late onset of menstruation within the normal range is not only controlled by genetic factors, but is also related to nutrition, health status, socioeconomic conditions, climate, etc. When you are malnourished and in poor overall health, your period will come late. Girls who have more social activities, accept things early, and have good nutritional development tend to have their periods earlier. Women in tropical climates also menstruate earlier.

If the cycle is too short or too long, or if the menstruation lasts too long or too short, there may be functional lesions or pathological changes in the genital uterus. If the menstruation is short, you should pay attention to the possibility of uterine tuberculosis. If the menstruation is too long, you should pay attention to the possibility of uterine tumors. Menstrual flow exceeding 80 ml is considered menorrhagia, with heaviest bleeding occurring on the second or third day of menstruation. Women during puberty and before menopause often have irregular menstruation and heavy menstrual flow. Excessive menstrual flow can sometimes cause hemorrhagic anemia, which requires treatment.

During menstruation, some people may not feel anything, but some may experience discomfort such as lower back pain, abdominal bloating, and dizziness, which are related to pelvic congestion. The pain is generally not severe and can be tolerated. Some people also have some neurological symptoms, such as headache, palpitations, insomnia, etc., but the degree is not serious.

Menstruation is affected by various factors, and it is normal for it to be early or delayed by one week, such as excessive mental stress, changes in environment and climate, malnutrition, stress, the effects of drugs, lack of rest, etc.
