Why does menstruation always come early?

Menstruation is a normal physiological cycle for women. Generally, the menstrual cycle of women is about 30-28 days. However, many women will encounter early menstruation in their lives. There are many reasons for early menstruation. Generally, inflammation in the body or disease of the uterus can easily lead to early menstruation. Taking medications may also easily lead to early menstruation.

Why does menstruation always come early?

1. Disease factors. If a woman suffers from certain diseases, including local inflammation of the reproductive organs, tumors, intracranial diseases, endocrine dysfunction, or takes medication for a long time, it is easy to cause irregular menstruation.

2. Endocrine dysfunction. The main reason is that the function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis is unstable or defective, which can easily cause unstable menstruation in women.

3. Influence of drugs. Some drugs can cause endocrine disorders in women after taking them, such as some contraceptives, chemotherapy drugs, and drugs for treating mental illness. Once you stop taking these medicines, your periods will generally return to normal.

4. The impact of the IUD. Some women will experience early menstruation after having an IUD inserted. There is no need to worry too much about this, as menstruation will gradually return to normal.

5. Diet. If women consume excessive amounts of spicy food and supplements for a long time, or if they are malnourished due to dieting, it can easily cause changes in the endocrine environment and lead to irregular menstruation.

6. Changes in living environment. Changes in the external environment, such as changes in living environment, job transfers, etc., can cause menstrual cycle disorders in some women.

7. Emotions. Women's mood swings, such as extreme joy or sorrow, depression, and high pressure from life and work will affect their endocrine system and cause early menstruation.

What is early menstruation?

What causes early menstruation? Early menstruation is a symptom of irregular menstruation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that whether menstruation occurs normally is most closely related to the liver, spleen, kidneys and the Chong and Ren meridians. The causes of early menstruation are mainly related to endocrine disorders, blood heat, qi deficiency and other factors.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, menstruation is produced by "Tiangui". There is a saying in ancient times that "a woman's menstruation starts at the age of 27 and stops at the age of 49". This means that women will have their first menstruation at around the age of 14, and will stop menstruating at around the age of 49. This is a natural physiological process. The so-called "Tiangui" is a complex concept. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Tiangui is produced by the innate kidney qi, which enables men and women to have reproductive ability and affects the growth and development of the human body. In fact, this is similar to the hormones mentioned in modern Western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that menstruation is a natural phenomenon in the process of female growth and development. Menstruation should come when it is supposed to come and go when it is supposed to go, which is the way of nature. Irregular menstruation, unexpected menstruation, and irregular menstruation all disrupt the body's balance and are a pathological phenomenon.

In the theory of gynecology in traditional Chinese medicine, the main causes of irregular menstruation are the six external evils, the seven internal emotions, injuries caused by life, and physical factors. Physical constitution is inherited from parents, but is greatly influenced by acquired environment, diet, spirit, psychology, personality, emotions and other factors. Therefore, people are paying more and more attention to menstrual irregularities caused by physical factors.
