What causes early menstruation?

Early menstruation is actually not a good phenomenon. It means that your menstrual cycle is disordered. If this continues for a long time, it will definitely cause some problems in your body, and even cause endocrine disorders. In this case, relevant examinations and treatments are needed. In addition, it may be caused by some diseases inside your body, in which case further treatment is needed.

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.
