Many, few, and loose menstruation is not normal Beware of signs of infertility

Most of the time, women's menstruation goes through a period of self-regulation before they develop regular, regular monthly menstrual cramps. The so-called regular and normal refers to the menstrual cycle of about 30 days, the menstrual period of about 5 days, the menstrual color is red, the menstrual flow is moderate, there is no abnormal blood clots, no serious abdominal pain, backache, etc. However, many women have varying degrees of due to their own physical fitness, working and living environment, diet, personality and many other reasonsIrregular menstruation。

Irregular menstruationCommon scenarios are:dysmenorrhea, early or late menstruation, bleeding during ovulation, excessive menstrual clots, excessive or too little menstrual flow, etc. If these conditions do not affect work, study and life, many young female friends often do not pay much attention to it and do not treat it, and infertility may occur in the future.

1. Heavy menstrual bleeding

Menorrhagia refers to the menstrual cycle and the number of days that the menstrual period lasts normally but the menstrual flow is excessive, and it is generally believed that the menstrual flow exceeds 100ml to diagnose menorrhagia.

The causes of menorrhagia are: (1) Gynecological endocrine dysfunction: due to the hypothalamic hypoplasia during puberty, a stable periodic regulation and feedback response has not yet been established between the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, resulting in the development of follicles in the ovaries but no ovulation, and no luteal formation, when the amount of estrogen is not enough to maintain the growth of the endometrium or suddenly declines, the endometrium falls off and causes excessive menstrual bleeding. Infertility occurs due to the absence of ovulation in the ovaries. （2）Uterine fibroids: Fibroids blocking the orifice of the fallopian tubes can prevent sperm and eggs from meeting and preventing conception. (3) Blood diseases, such as leukemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, etc., can also cause menorrhagia and be affectedpregnant

2. Oligomenorrhagia

Oligomenorrhea refers to a normal menstrual cycle, but the number of days each menstrual period is shorter than 2-3 days, the menstrual flow is light, and the menstrual blood is dark purple or pink. The causes of oligomenorrhea are: 1. Hypothalamus and pituitary gland dysfunction: 2. Some gynecological diseases are common causes of oligomenorrhea, 3. Uterine curettage: due to excessive mechanical damage, the endometrium cannot be repaired and regenerated, and oligomenorrhea or even amenorrhea can occur.4. Congenital dysplasia of the ovaries or excessive inhibition of acquired sexual function eventually leads to ovarian ovulation dysfunction and insufficient endometrial hyperplasia resulting in oligomenorrhea.

The above reasons can make the patient unable to conceive or the fertilized egg cannot implant and grow and develop normally due to endometrial lesions, resulting in infertility.

3. Menorrhagia

Oligomenorrhea is defined as a menstrual cycle of more than 40-50 days or longer. Rare menorrhagia is often due to dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, resulting in prolonged follicular phase or abnormal ovulation. Patients with oligomenorrhea who have anovulation or ovarian luteal insufficiency have a higher proportion than the normal menstrual cycle, and the longer the menstrual cycle, the more irregular the menstrual cycle, the higher the above percentage, and sometimes it is a precursor to amenorrhea.

Menstrual irregularities – a sign of infertility

Is it infertility caused by irregular menstruation? We say that it is not the infertility caused by irregular menstruation, but the irregular menstruation and infertility caused by one or several causes in the woman's body, in other words, irregular menstruation is a signal of infertility. For example, patients with impaired egg production infertility often have menstrual conditions such as light menstrual flow, delayed periods, or secondary amenorrhea. Western medicine believes that it is ovarian dysfunction, while traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is mostly caused by the deficiency of the uterus and the lack of qi and blood. Patients with tubal disorder infertility often present with more menstrual blood clots, dark menstruation, and poor blood flow.Western medicine believes that the cause is mostly blocked fallopian tubes, while traditional Chinese medicine mostly distinguishes the syndrome as qi stagnation and blood stasis; There is also gynecologic inflammation (pelvic inflammatory disease,Adnexitis、CervicitisPatients with infertility often have a large monthly amount, bright red color, thick quality, and fishy odor. Western medicine believes that it is caused by infection, while traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by dampness and heat, and heat forcing blood to act in vain. There is also infertility caused by uterine fibroids or endometriosis, which is often manifested as early menstruation, heavy menstruation, bleeding, severe dysmenorrhea, etc., which are considered by traditional Chinese medicine to be more common in people with blood stasis or qi intake. As can be seen from the above examples, infertility is accompanied by a variety of menstrual problems, and the appearance of menstrual problems is often accompanied by the occurrence of infertility.

How to prevent and treat infertility? Due to infertility withIrregular menstruationIt often occurs together, and the two are caused by a common cause, so we can start with the problem of menstruation to analyze the common cause, and then treat the cause. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "menstrual regulating seeds". When menstruation is regulated, some infertility will disappear. Many people can happily conceive a child after 3 months to 6 months of treatment.

Some patients have fallopian tube inflammation at the beginning, and without treatment, it gradually progresses to the fallopian tube hardening and then gradually becomes completely irreversible blockage, which is quite difficult to treat, so prevention is better than cure.That is, when the signal of infertility -Irregular menstruationAfter the occurrence of menstrual irregularity, it is necessary to treat it in time, at this time, the treatment of menstrual irregularities is easier than infertility, and the occurrence of infertility may be avoided after the treatment of menstrual irregularities. Therefore, early detection and early treatment are particularly important.

How to effectively avoid the occurrence of menstrual irregularities? This requires female friends to pay attention to some details in their daily life, such as not eating cold drinks before and after menstruation, but not working too much, not staying up late, not drinking too much, eating less spicy, greasy, raw and cold food, etc., but for those who have their own physical problems, that is, congenital lack of qi and blood, and uterine deficiency and cold, it is necessary to correct these in time. Because these causes also have their own unique manifestations, such as thinness, stunting, pale complexion, dizziness, fatigue, sensitivity to cold, etc., timely treatment of these symptoms is also an effective means to avoid menstrual irregularities and infertility.
