What causes early menstruation?

Sometimes female friends experience early menstruation. In fact, early menstruation is a type of menstrual disorder, so we must do a good job of preventing and treating early menstruation. So what causes our menstruation to be early? Only when we know what factors cause early menstruation, we can control these factors and avoid early menstruation.

Many female friends have never paid much attention to the early menstruation. In fact, early menstruation is very harmful to our body. Early menstruation may cause liver qi stagnation, spleen deficiency, damp yin and kidney qi loss.

Early menstruation is a symptom of irregular menstruation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that whether menstruation occurs normally is most closely related to the liver, spleen, kidneys and the Chong and Ren meridians. The causes of early menstruation are mainly endocrine disorders, blood heat, qi deficiency and other factors.

What causes early menstruation?

Organic disease or drug-induced

Causes of early menstruation include organic diseases or drugs, including local inflammation, tumors and developmental abnormalities, malnutrition of the reproductive organs; intracranial diseases; other endocrine dysfunctions such as thyroid gland disorders.

Endocrine disorders caused

The cause of early menstruation is neuroendocrine dysfunction: mainly the unstable or defective function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, that is, menstrual disorder.

Caused by excess yang energy in the body

The reasons for early menstruation include excessive yang energy in the body, excessive consumption of spicy food and supplements, depression, or excessive blood loss due to long-term illness, which are all prone to blood heat. When the blood becomes hot, it flows more slowly and the rate of blood flow also increases, causing menstruation to come earlier.

Qi deficiency

Doctors say that people who overwork or have an unhealthy diet are most likely to damage their temper, like me. Because the spleen is the "manager" of blood, once the "manager" is in a weak position, the "managed" will inevitably want to rebel, so menstruation comes early. If there is no fire in the pulse, then the menstruation is early or late because the heart and spleen are weak, so it cannot come on time.

Blood heat

People with excessive Yang energy, or those who are depressed, or who eat spicy food and take supplements, or who have lost a lot of blood due to long-term illness, are very likely to develop blood heat. When the blood is hot, it will flow more quickly, which will lead to early menstruation.

Fertility status

Early menstruation is also related to fertility status. The older the age at conception, the earlier the menopause, and the fewer pregnancies, the earlier the menopause. This is because the older the age of first pregnancy, the fewer pregnancies there are, which causes women to ovulate more frequently and reach menopause earlier. In addition, the longer the breastfeeding period, the later the menopause. This is because ovulation will be affected during breastfeeding. If the breastfeeding period is prolonged, the number of ovulation will decrease, so the menopause will be later. Conversely, the shorter the breastfeeding period, the earlier the menopause. The color, quantity, quality and duration of early menstruation are basically the same as those of normal menstruation, while bleeding during menstruation often occurs on the 12th to 16th day of the menstrual period, lasting about 1 to 2 hours or 2 to 3 days, and the amount of menstruation is generally less.
