Is it normal for women to have irregular menstruation?

Menstruation is something that a woman must experience in her life. Since the first menstruation in the teenage years, the menstrual cycle is almost fixed. However, many modern young women may suffer from irregular menstruation due to mental stress or irregular lifestyle. These situations are very abnormal and have extremely serious effects on women's physical health and endocrine system. Treatment and conditioning measures should be taken in time.

Abnormal emotions cause menstrual disorders. Emotional abnormalities, such as long-term mental depression, mental tension, or severe mental stimulation and psychological trauma, can lead to menstrual disorders or dysmenorrhea or amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is caused by the hormones secreted by the ovaries acting on the endometrium. The hormones secreted by the ovaries are controlled by the hormones released by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Therefore, any abnormality in the function of the ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus will affect menstruation.

Cold stimulation can cause oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea. When women are exposed to cold stimulation during menstruation, the blood vessels in the pelvic cavity will contract excessively, which can cause oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea. Therefore, women should pay attention to preventing cold and avoiding dampness during menstruation in their daily life. Addiction to smoking and drinking can cause menstrual disorders. Certain ingredients in cigarettes and alcohol can interfere with physiological processes related to menstruation and cause menstrual disorders. Among women who smoke and drink excessively, 25% to 32% go to the hospital for treatment due to menstrual disorders. Among women who smoke more than one pack of cigarettes a day or drink more than 100 ml of strong liquor, the incidence of menstrual disorders is three times that of women who do not smoke or drink. Therefore, women should not smoke and drink less alcohol.

If a woman's menstrual irregularities are not effectively regulated and treated for a long time, it may affect her fertility in the later period, because menstruation is caused by ovarian ovulation. If menstruation is irregular for a long time, it means that ovulation is abnormal, which may be caused by premature ovarian failure or ovarian dysfunction, so treatment must be taken in time.
