What to do if you have menstrual endocrine disorders?

Many people experience endocrine disorders during menstruation. If there are endocrine disorders during menstruation, then the menstruation will also be affected. For example, the amount of menstruation is too much, or too little. The color of menstruation may also change during the endocrine disorder. Endocrine disorders are very harmful to women's bodies. So, what should we do if we have endocrine disorders during menstruation? Let's take a look at it below.

① Supplement the amount required by the human body under normal circumstances, that is, supplement the physiological dose of hormones. For example, thyroid hormone is supplemented for hypothyroidism, hydrocortisone is supplemented for adrenal insufficiency, and insulin is used to treat diabetes mellitus with insulin deficiency.

②Supplement temporary hormone deficiency with super-physiological doses. For example, patients with acute adrenal insufficiency should be given a larger amount of hydrocortisone. For patients with chronic adrenal insufficiency who encounter surgery, trauma, or severe infection, the dose of hydrocortisone should be increased and then reduced to the original dose after recovery.

③Organ transplantation, that is, transplanting other people’s endocrine organs to produce hormones for patients. In recent years, pancreas transplantation or pancreatic islet transplantation has been used to treat diabetes, and pituitary transplantation has been used to treat hypopituitarism. These methods are still in the exploratory research stage and cannot be widely implemented at present.

1) For hyperfunction, one or more of the following methods can be used for treatment.

①Surgical removal of endocrine tumors, or removal of most of the hyperplastic endocrine glands.

② Use radiation or oral isotopes to destroy hyperfunctioning tumors or proliferating glands, such as radiotherapy for pituitary tumors and oral isotope iodine for hyperthyroidism.

③ Use drugs to inhibit hormone synthesis, such as using antithyroid drugs to inhibit the synthesis of thyroid hormones.

④ Use hormones to inhibit the secretion and production of corresponding troponins to achieve the purpose of treating hyperfunction, such as using glucocorticoids to inhibit the pituitary gland from producing adrenocorticotropic hormone to treat congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

⑤ Use drugs to counteract the physiological effects of a certain hormone so that it cannot play its original role. For example, spironolactone can counteract the effect of aldosterone on the kidneys to retain sodium and excrete potassium, and thus can treat aldosteronism.

(2) For those with endocrine dysfunction, the principle is to supplement the deficiency. The following methods can be used.

Do you all know how to treat symptoms of endocrine disorders in women during menstruation? If you know the various treatments for endocrine disorders, you can use these methods to treat yourself in time. When treating endocrine disorders, you must not feel stressed, as this is also a cause of endocrine disorders. Control your emotions as soon as possible, and the disease will gradually recover.
