One, abnormal emotions cause menstrual disorders
Abnormal emotions Long-term emotional depression, being upset, or suffering from major mental stimulation and psychological trauma can lead to menstrual disorders or dysmenorrhea, or amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is formed after the hormone secretion of the ovary stimulates the endometrium, and the secretion of ovarian hormones is controlled by the hormone release of the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus. Therefore, whether the function of the ovary, the pituitary gland, or the hypothalamus is abnormal, it will affect menstruation.
Two, cold stimulation causes oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea
Irregular lifestyle Studies have shown that cold stimulation during the menstrual period can cause excessive constriction of blood vessels in the pelvic cavity, which can lead to oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea. Therefore, women's daily life should be regular, avoid overexertion, especially during the menstrual period to avoid cold and dampness.
Three, overeating causes menstrual irregularity
Overeating experts have shown that at least 17% of a girl's fat should account for her body weight to have her first menstruation, and the body fat should reach at least 22% of the body weight to maintain a normal menstrual cycle. Overeating can cause a significant deficiency in estrogen synthesis due to insufficient energy intake, affecting the onset of menstruation, and even causing oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea. Therefore, women who pursue a slender figure should not engage in blind dieting.
Four, smoking and drinking cause menstrual irregularity
1. Certain components in alcohol, tobacco smoke, and smoke can interfere with physiological processes related to menstruation, causing menstrual irregularity. Among women who smoke and drink excessively, 25%-32% seek medical treatment due to menstrual irregularity. Among women who smoke more than one pack a day or drink more than 100 milligrams of strong liquor, the prevalence of menstrual irregularity is three times higher than that of women who do not smoke or drink. Therefore, women should not smoke and drink less.
2. There are two major pathological causes of menstrual irregularity:
(1) Dysfunction of neuroendocrine function: mainly the functional instability or defect of the posterior brain-hypothalamus-ovary axis, that is, menstrual disease.
(2) Organic lesions or drugs, etc., can cause: including local inflammation of reproductive organs, tumors, developmental abnormalities, malnutrition; intracranial diseases; other endocrine dysfunction such as thyroid, adrenal cortex dysfunction, diabetes, Sheehan's disease, etc.; liver diseases; blood diseases, etc. The use of psychiatric drugs; endocrine preparations or the use of intrauterine devices for contraception may cause menstrual irregularities. Certain professions, such as long-distance runners, are prone to amenorrhea. In addition, certain abnormal uterine bleeding during pregnancy is often mistakenly considered as menstrual irregularity.
In the clinical diagnosis of menstrual disorders due to neurological endocrine dysfunction, it is necessary to exclude the various organic causes mentioned above.
