Normal sex hormones, irregular menstruation

Many women have symptoms of irregular menstruation. There are many factors that lead to irregular menstruation, and whether sex hormones are normal is only a small aspect of it. In daily life, you should avoid spicy and cold foods, as these can cause uterine cold. Some girls like to lose weight by dieting instead of exercising, which will lead to nutritional deficiencies and fail to provide the necessary nutrition normally. Therefore, normal sex hormones alone cannot explain the problem of irregular menstruation.

1. Why do I still have irregular menstruation when the six sex hormones are normal?

If the six sex hormones are normal and there is irregular menstruation, it should be caused by other reasons. Menstruation is affected by many factors, such as environmental changes, mental factors, endocrine influences, drug effects, pregnancy, etc. Occasional delay of menstruation once or twice is not pathological. I suggest you go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check the thickness of the endometrium. If it is normal, you can try some menstruation-inducing drugs, such as progesterone capsules, which are still effective. Eat less spicy, stimulating, and cold foods, and do not drink cold water or beverages.

2. Causes of irregular menstruation

1. Neuroendocrine dysfunction is mainly caused by unstable or defective function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, that is, menstrual disorders.

2. Causes of organic diseases or drugs include local inflammation of reproductive organs, tumors and developmental abnormalities, malnutrition; intracranial diseases; other endocrine dysfunctions such as thyroid and adrenal cortex dysfunction, diabetes, Sheehan's disease, etc.; liver diseases; blood diseases, etc. Menstrual irregularities may occur in women who use drugs to treat mental illnesses, endocrine preparations, or intrauterine devices for contraception. A detailed treatment prescription should be obtained after seeing a doctor. Do not take medicine blindly.

3. Precautions for irregular menstruation

Keep a happy spirit, avoid mental stimulation and mood swings. Some people may experience lower abdominal distension, back pain, breast pain, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability or depression during the menstrual period. These are all normal and there is no need to be overly nervous.
