Is it normal to have your period a week early?

Many female friends are confused by the early onset of menstruation. So, what is the reason why menstruation comes a week earlier? First of all, the onset of menstruation during the menstrual period is affected by various factors. Different people have different physical fitness and different natural environments, and the reasons for early menstruation are also different. Secondly, early menstruation may be the result of the interaction of multiple factors, not a simple reason. Let’s take a look at what causes early menstruation!

1. Caused by organic disease or drugs

Inflammation of the male reproductive organs, tumors, abnormal growth and development, malnutrition, brain disease, thyroid cysts, metabolic imbalances, etc. may all cause early menstruation.

2. Endocrine imbalance

The reason for early menstruation is mostly due to endocrine imbalance, mainly due to unstable or defective function of the hypothalamic-pituitary, pituitary, and uterine-ovarian axis.

3. Caused by excess Qi and blood in the body

People with excessive Qi and blood, who take too much irritating food and tonics, or who are depressed, or who have lost too much blood due to long-term illness, are very likely to have hot blood. Or people who have been ill for a long time and have lost too much blood are very likely to develop blood heat. When the blood gets hot, it will not flow smoothly, and the water flow will also speed up, causing premature ejaculation.

4. Caused by Qi deficiency

People who are overworked or have an irregular diet are most likely to suffer from temper damage. The spleen is the "manager" of the blood. Once the "manager" is at a disadvantage, the "managed" will inevitably want to rebel, and thus their menstruation will come early. If there is no fire in the pulse, then the premature menstruation is due to the deficiency of heart and spleen qi, so it cannot come on time.

5. Mental fluctuations and environmental damage

Ups and downs, daily life, and too much work pressure all affect women's endocrine system and cause menstruation to come early. In addition, moving to a new home or changing jobs may also cause your period to come early.

6. Caused by drugs

Some medicines can cause endocrine disorders in women after taking them, such as some emergency contraceptives, radiotherapy and chemotherapy drugs, and drugs for treating mental illnesses. Generally, menstruation will gradually resume after stopping taking the medicine.

Is it normal to have your period a week early?

It is normal for your period to come a week early. According to traditional Chinese medicine, whether menstruation is normal or not is closely related to the liver, spleen, kidney and Chong and Ren meridians. Generally speaking, whether the menstrual period will be early or delayed is related to the temperature, mood, environment, endocrine system, blood gas, etc. Therefore, the menstrual period may be advanced or delayed due to different factors. Many women have experienced early menstruation and are very worried about whether there is something wrong with their body. Early menstruation is indeed a symptom of irregular menstruation, but if your menstrual period is early when it is regular, then there is nothing to worry about. If your menstrual period is irregular and your cycles are chaotic, you should consider whether it is a sign of any disease.

The menstrual cycle of each woman is different. Generally, it is within the normal range from 21 to 35 days, and the average menstrual cycle is about 28 days. If the menstrual period is consistently advanced by more than 7 days, or even occurs twice in a month, it is called "early menstruation", also known as "early menstruation" or "early menstruation". If the menstrual period is only 3 to 5 days early and there are no other obvious symptoms, it is within the normal range. Sometimes, even if your period comes early, it is not considered an early period in the true sense. It depends on whether the early menstrual period is normal or not, and the detailed situation needs to be analyzed in depth. If it is always a week early and you feel obvious discomfort, and your menstrual cycle is irregular, then this is an abnormal condition and you should consult a doctor immediately for treatment.
