Why menstruation comes early

Early menstruation may be caused by endocrine disorders, mental stress, drug influence, gynecological diseases or excessive dieting. It usually manifests as symptoms such as shortening of the cycle to less than 21 days and abnormal menstrual flow.

1. Endocrine disorders

Hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis dysfunction is a common cause, and abnormal hormone secretion may be caused by staying up late, obesity and other factors. It is recommended to maintain a regular schedule and use progesterone capsules, dydrogesterone tablets and other drugs as directed by the doctor to adjust the cycle when necessary.

2. Mental pressure

Long-term anxiety or stress can inhibit the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone and shorten the follicular phase. Stress can be relieved through mindfulness meditation, and Zaoren Anshen Capsules can be used for short-term treatment when accompanied by insomnia.

3. Effects of drugs

Emergency contraceptive pills containing large doses of progestins may interfere with the cycle, and antibiotics such as levofloxacin tablets may also affect estrogen metabolism. If any symptoms occur during medication, please consult your doctor in advance to adjust the plan.

4. Gynecological diseases

Uterine fibroids or endometrial polyps may cause menstrual irregularities, often accompanied by prolonged menstruation. Ultrasound examination is required to confirm the diagnosis. For smaller fibroids, Guizhi Fuling capsules can be tried to control the progression.

5. Excessive dieting

Excessive weight loss in the short term will reduce leptin levels and inhibit follicle-stimulating hormone secretion. It is recommended that the daily caloric intake should not be less than 1,200 calories, and iron supplements such as ferrous succinate tablets can be used to prevent anemia.

It is necessary to record the changes in the menstrual cycle every day and avoid strenuous exercise or bathing to stimulate pelvic congestion. Pay attention to supplementing your diet with high-quality protein such as fish, eggs, and milk. You can drink ginger and brown sugar water during menstruation to relieve discomfort. If the cycle is abnormal or the bleeding volume exceeds 80 ml for three consecutive months, it is recommended to visit a gynecologist to check for polycystic ovary syndrome and other diseases.
