What should girls do if they have irregular menstruation? Why do girls have irregular menstrual cycles?

Middle school girls will be disturbed by menstruation one after another. Growing up also brings girls a lot of troubles. Irregular menstrual cycles, dysmenorrhea, long menstrual periods, small menstrual flow and other menstrual irregularities trouble these girls. So what should girls do with irregular menstruation?

Why is the menstrual cycle irregular?

The menstrual cycle is mainly regulated by the interaction between the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and ovary, which we call the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis. During adolescence, the function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis has not yet fully matured. Although there are follicles in the ovaries and they can secrete estrogen, they cannot ovulate normally. It is not until the ovaries are fully developed that the follicles can mature and discharge eggs. Only when ovulation is normal will the menstruation follow a certain pattern, that is, a normal menstrual cycle. Therefore, it is normal for most girls to have irregular menstrual cycles within 1 to 2 years after menarche. The phenomenon of irregular menstrual cycles in a few girls can be extended to 3 to 4 years after menarche. There is one thing to note, some girls have a more regular menstrual cycle at the beginning of a stage, and then suddenly they don’t have a menstrual cycle for 3 to 4 months, and then the menstrual blood increases significantly during menstruation. In this case, you should go to the hospital for treatment and ask the doctor to establish a normal menstrual cycle based on the cause and necessary treatment. In addition, psychological factors of adolescent girls can also affect the regularity of menstrual cycle, such as mood swings, environmental changes, study stress, etc. Once these factors are removed or adapted to, the menstrual cycle will return to normal. However, everyone's menstrual cycle has a certain regularity. If a girl's menstruation comes regularly every two months, and it is like this every year, it is also a normal phenomenon.

Dysmenorrhea is divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea.
