What is considered menstrual irregularities? Many women don't know what's going on. Below, the editor will introduce what constitutes menstrual irregularities
If you follow the menstrual cycle, such as coming once every 40 days before, but now there are too many early or late mistakes, then there is a problem. Also, there is the amount of menstrual flow, some people have more and some people have less, but it usually cleans up in 4-6 days. For example, if someone's menstrual cycle always comes once every two months, for three days each time, there is usually no problem. However, if it is intermittent bleeding, the amount is not very large, or if the original three days are now 10 days, then there is a problem.
In addition, for personal cycles, both early and delayed within 7 or 10 days are within the normal range. For example, the last time I came on the 8th, this time on the 12th, or a few days in advance, it doesn't matter.
What is considered menstrual irregularities? Symptoms of menstrual irregularities
1. Dysmenorrhea:
It refers to the occurrence of pain in the lower abdomen or waist before or during menstruation. When the attack is severe, the patient's face turns pale, sweats cold, hands and feet are cold, nausea and vomiting occur, and may even lead to collapse and fainting.
2. Meridian blood color:
Normal blood is dark red, mixed with shedding small fragments of endometrium, cervical mucus, and vaginal epithelial cells, without blood clots. If the menstrual blood is as thin as water, with only a hint of pink or dark purple hair, it is abnormal. If the menstrual blood is completely clotted and abnormal, there may be other bleeding areas, and early medical attention should be sought to ensure physical health.
3. Early menstrual period:
Early menstruation refers to a shortened menstrual cycle, shorter than 21 days, and more than 2 consecutive cycles. The follicular phase is short, only 7-8 days, or the luteal phase is shorter than 10 days, or the body temperature rises by less than 0.5 ℃.
4. Abnormal bleeding:
The menstrual blood that a woman sheds during the physiological period or the bleeding during childbirth is considered normal bleeding. Except for these two situations, bleeding is considered abnormal vaginal bleeding.
5. Menstrual period (also known as menstruation period):
The menstrual period of a woman is approximately 2-5 days. The general pattern of menstruation is that there is not much menstrual blood on the first day, it increases on the second or third day, and gradually decreases thereafter until the menstrual blood is clean. Some people, after their menstrual blood is clean, come back a little after a day or two, commonly known as "menstrual blood turning back". This is not a disease, but a normal phenomenon. However, some women have a menstrual period of 10 to 20 days, and their menstrual flow is endless; Some menstrual periods are extremely short and only pass in a flash, both of which are abnormal.
6. Menstrual extension:
The menstrual cycle is normal and the menstrual volume is normal, but the menstrual period is prolonged, exceeding 7 days or even 2 weeks. People with inflammation usually have lower abdominal pain, worsened menstruation, and a large amount of vaginal discharge, with yellow or yellow white color, thick texture, and odor. Patients with corpus luteum atrophy are accompanied by excessive menstrual flow, and those with prolonged endometrial repair still have a small amount of persistent vaginal bleeding after the normal menstrual period.
7. Menstrual blood volume:
The amount of menstrual flow in women varies from person to person, usually between 20 and 100 milliliters. Generally, changing sanitary napkins 3-5 times a day is considered normal. If there is too much menstrual blood, changing a sanitary napkin will quickly get wet again, and even menstrual blood will flow down the legs, which is abnormal. Menstrual volume is less than 20 milliliters, with only a small amount or even no need for a sanitary napkin. It is also abnormal for menstrual blood to appear dark purple or pink.
8. Menstrual delay:
Menstrual errors occur for more than 7 days, or even 40-50 days, with two or more consecutive menstrual cycles occurring. With ovulation, the basal body temperature is biphasic, but the follicular phase is long and the high temperature phase is low; In anovulation, basal body temperature was monophasic.

During menstruation, do not eat cold food; During menstruation, the body should keep warm and avoid eating raw and cold foods (including cold lettuce, watermelon, coconut juice, and food or cold drinks just taken out of the refrigerator). Do not eat sour vinegar, as well as cold and cold foods such as crabs and snails, to avoid sudden cessation of menstruation or worsening pain.
Do not wash your hair during menstruation; The ancients believed that it was strictly prohibited to wash hair during menstruation, mainly because women had weak resistance and were prone to infection with wind pathogens. After the invention of modern hair dryers, as long as the hair was washed, it was immediately dried, and the hair was completely dry before going to bed.
Avoid taking baths or getting wet; Avoid swimming and bathing, as well as wading or getting caught in the rain, as it may cause cold and wet retention and blood circulation disorders.
Do not smoke or consume alcoholic or caffeinated beverages; Alcohol can exacerbate low mood, headaches, and fatigue, and trigger the urge to eat sweets; Caffeine can promote chest pain, anxiety, and irritability. Salt restriction (to prevent water retention in the body), red meat (animal fat can increase the amount of estrogen, which may contribute to premenstrual syndrome), reduced dairy intake (lactose can hinder the absorption of magnesium in the body), reduced any sugar (sweets can cause anxiety and emotional instability, causing water retention, and more importantly, making you fat), processed food, junk food, and fast food.
Do not lift heavy objects or engage in vigorous exercise; Do not lift heavy objects or engage in vigorous exercise to avoid exerting force on the lower abdomen, causing excessive or prolonged menstrual blood. However, moderate and gentle exercise can relax muscles, promote blood circulation, prevent water retention, and even stimulate the brain to secrete endorphins.
Self adjustment on weekdays; Patients with menstrual disorders not only seek medical treatment, but also have important daily self regulation. Therefore, the principle of self adjustment lies in improving physical fitness, enhancing the body's resistance, and maintaining a regular lifestyle, sufficient sleep, balanced nutrition, and avoiding anxiety and tension in daily life, while maintaining a happy mood.
