Why do I have my period twice a month?

Women have menstruation once a month, which is a normal physiological phenomenon of women. Menstruation has a fixed cycle. Because the endometrium sheds, a lot of blood will be discharged from the vagina every month. Under normal circumstances, women only have menstruation once a month, but some people have menstruation twice a month due to irregular menstruation. So what impact will this have on the body?

There are many reasons for having two periods in a month. Sometimes some medicines taken for other diseases may cause this situation. At this time, you should consult a doctor whether it is necessary to stop taking the medicine. In short, this situation caused by external factors should be taken seriously.

So what are the underlying reasons for having two periods in a month? Senior gynecologists pointed out that the common reason for women to have two periods in a month is hormonal imbalance, which is the most common cause of uterine bleeding, especially in adolescent girls and menopausal women. Because of the anovulatory bleeding caused by hormonal imbalance, menstruation becomes chaotic during the first menstruation or when menopause is about to begin.

Other reasons for having two periods in one month

1. Ovulation bleeding: Some people only have a small amount of brown discharge, which usually lasts for half a day or 2-3 days, and no more than 7 days at most. It may be accompanied by mild ovulation pain and back pain.

2. Contact bleeding: The phenomenon of vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse is called contact bleeding, which is often related to gynecological diseases such as vaginitis, cervical erosion, cervical polyps, early cervical cancer, submucosal myoma, etc.

3. Functional uterine bleeding: The manifestations of functional uterine bleeding are usually irregular menstrual cycles, excessive menstrual flow, prolonged menstruation or irregular bleeding.

4. Excessive dieting: Expert research shows that girls need body fat to account for at least 17% of their body weight to have their first menstruation, and body fat must reach at least 22% of their body weight to maintain a normal menstrual cycle.

5. Irregular living habits: According to research, if women are exposed to cold during menstruation, the blood vessels in the pelvis will contract excessively, which can cause oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea. Therefore, women should have a regular daily life, avoid excessive fatigue, and especially keep away from cold and damp during menstruation.

6. Mental depression: Long-term mental depression, sulking, or suffering from major mental stimulation and psychological trauma can lead to menstrual disorders or dysmenorrhea or amenorrhea.

In general, some bad living habits and eating habits can cause menstrual disorders, which can cause many serious gynecological diseases and cause great harm to women's bodies. Therefore, women should take immediate measures when they find that they have menstrual disorders, so as not to miss the best time for treatment and cause more serious consequences.
