How to regulate your menstrual cycle

When a woman's body develops to a certain extent, she will have menstruation. Menstruation is an important sign of a woman's physical maturity. The menstrual period of adolescent women is not fixed. When women mature to a certain age, their menstrual cycle will generally become fixed. However, there are always some reasons in life that make women want to adjust their menstrual cycle. So what are the methods to regulate women's menstrual cycle?

1. If you decide to do an activity at the last minute, or the activity is imminent and your period is less than a week away, your doctor will prescribe high-dose estrogen plus progestin for you. Start taking it on the day your period is expected to come, and take it for 10 consecutive days. Your period will not come until you stop taking the medicine. This is the method currently used by most people.

2. If you don’t have time to prepare a month in advance, you can also use progesterone to advance your period. That is, take progesterone continuously for 5-7 days, and your menstruation will come around the 5th day after stopping the medication. Or you can take an injection to induce menstruation, which has the same effect, that is, to make your menstruation come early. The advantage of this method is that the medication time is short, but if your menstrual period is generally about seven days, it is best to report to your gynecologist three weeks in advance so that you have time to prepare. If you get your period first, you will have fewer worries.

3. Use contraceptive pills to advance or delay menstruation. In addition to being used to regulate menstruation, it also has a contraceptive function. The contraceptive pill itself is a complex hormone, but it must be prepared one month in advance, that is, it should be taken from the fifth day of the menstrual period and continued until three days before the menstrual period. For example, you travel abroad from July 7 to 26 for a period of 10 days. If your period comes on July 2, you should start taking the medicine from July 7-6 and continue until July 8-3. When your trip is over, your period will come around July 8-7. Although this method has a high success rate, its disadvantage is that you have to take the medicine every day for more than 20 days in a row. If you forget to take it, all your efforts will be wasted.

The above methods all have certain use times. If the timing of taking the medicine is wrong or too late, no matter how many medicines you take, you will not be able to stop the menstruation. Therefore, these methods require you to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department in advance to consult the doctor to adjust the menstrual period in a timely manner according to your personal situation. If you don't want to reschedule, none of the above is necessary. You may need to make adjustments on your own, such as preparing enough sanitary napkins in advance, taking painkillers to avoid menstrual cramps, or trying to relax and reduce the menstrual discomfort symptoms caused by stress.
