Menstrual cycles become shorter after age 45

We know that after girls enter menopause, their menstruation will become less and eventually disappear completely. Most women will enter menopause after the age of 50, but some women begin to find that their menstrual cycles are becoming shorter and shorter after the age of 45. They become very panic-stricken and worry that they will enter a state of aging prematurely. In fact, entering menopause is a very normal situation. There is no need to worry at all. You should face this physical change with a calm attitude.

1. Psychological factors lead to shorter menstrual cycle.

Nowadays, female friends are under great pressure. Faced with the pressure of competition, their spirits are always in a state of high tension. They have lost their former leisurely habits. The functions of their endocrine glands are stimulated, and the interdependence, mutual restraint and dynamic balance between the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and ovarian functions are disrupted, which naturally leads to excessive menstruation and shortened cycles.

2. Abnormalities in the central nervous system - hypothalamus lead to shorter menstrual cycles.

It mainly includes mental stress, such as reactions caused by mental stress such as environmental changes, excessive tension, and mental shock; there are also weight loss, anorexia nervosa, excessive exercise, drugs, etc., which cause dysfunction or inhibition of the hypothalamic secretion of gonadotropin; in addition, there are congenital diseases or brain malformations and tumors that cause abnormal hormone secretion.

3. Shortening of menstrual cycle caused by dysfunctional uterine bleeding during adolescence.

The reason why adolescent women have short menstrual cycles is usually because the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and ovarian functions are not fully developed.

4. Luteal insufficiency

As the relatively fixed luteal phase becomes shorter, the corresponding menstrual cycle will also become shorter. This reason mostly occurs in women of childbearing age.

5. Severe uterine fibroids not only cause heavy menstrual flow, but also symptoms of frequent menstruation or shortened menstrual cycles.

The length of the menstrual cycle is mainly determined by the period of follicle development and maturation. For some people, the development of follicles takes a long time, which is relatively slow, so the menstrual cycle is relatively longer. On the contrary, the development of follicles is fast, and the menstrual cycle is shorter. The entire menstrual cycle goes through four stages: menstrual phase, follicular phase, ovulation phase and luteal phase. During this process, the time spent by each person is different, thus resulting in different menstrual cycles.
