For women, having too much or too little menstruation has an impact on their health, so what are the hazards of having too little menstruation?
For women, there are always a few unsettling days every month. Vacation is the most important physiological week for women. Of course, female friends may find it very troublesome. In fact, regular menstruation is a sign of health. If it's an abnormality, it's real trouble, so women should be grateful for their normal menstruation.
The normal menstrual cycle for women is 2435 days. Experts say the correct calculation method is from the first day of the last menstrual cycle to the first day of menstruation. The normal menstrual period (i.e. bleeding period) is 27 days, with a blood volume of 2060 milliliters per menstrual cycle. In addition to blood, there are also fragments of the endometrium, cervical mucus, and vaginal epithelial cells. The following menstrual manifestations usually indicate the occurrence of the disease:
Excessive menstruation. The common occurrence among young women is dysfunctional uterine bleeding, known as functional blood, which refers to menstrual disorders without organic diseases. Zhang explained that there are two types of functional blood, one of which is the incomplete development of the adolescent gonadal axis, leading to anovulation or non periodic ovulation of functional blood. Clinical irregular blood loss or symptoms of excessive menstruation can seriously cause anemia or even hemorrhagic shock. The other type is ovulatory blood. Zhang explained that ovulation has a menstrual cycle, with a large menstrual volume exceeding 80 milliliters each time, which is usually caused by a disturbance in endometrial fibrinolytic enzyme activity or prostaglandin vasoconstrictor factor secretion. Endometriosis and adenomyosis can also lead to high menstrual flow and severe dysmenorrhea. Some blood diseases can affect blood coagulation and also lead to menstrual disorders and menstrual volume, such as thrombocytopenia, aplastic anemia, leukemia, etc.
Excessive menstruation or amenorrhea. At present, the most common reason is polycystic ovary syndrome. In addition to amenorrhea, infertility, obesity, hirsutism, acne, etc., some patients have diabetes. Zhang said that malignant tumors of the reproductive system, such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer, may also manifest as menstrual disorders, and special caution is needed. In recent years, there has been a trend towards younger age in malignant tumors. If there are menstrual abnormalities, gynecological examinations and cancer screening must be carried out. In addition, medications such as emergency contraceptives and weight loss pills may also cause amenorrhea. Zhang said that some women lack contraceptive measures and rely solely on oral emergency contraceptives to remedy their condition, leading to many amenorrhea. In addition to medication, excessive diet to lose weight can also inhibit hypothalamic function, leading to neuroamenorrhea. Menstruation is also controlled by the cerebral cortex, and changes in the living environment or drastic emotional fluctuations may also lead to menstrual disorders.
