What system abnormalities can cause irregular menstruation?

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, irregular menstruation is caused by the failure of Qi and blood to regulate the blood, which leads to abnormal blood accumulation. Most of them are caused by liver Qi stagnation or kidney Qi failure. However, these are not all the factors. So what are the other reasons that can cause irregular menstruation?

Regarding the causes of irregular menstruation, experts explained from the following aspects:

1. Irregular menstruation caused by neuroendocrine dysfunction: mainly due to unstable or defective function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, that is, diseases such as irregular menstruation.

2. Menstrual irregularities caused by ovarian problems: Menstrual irregularities in women of childbearing age are generally due to poor ovarian corpus luteum function, which often manifests as a period, but a shortened period, or heavy menstrual bleeding.

3. Menstrual irregularities caused by organic diseases or drugs: including inflammation, tumors, developmental abnormalities, malnutrition of local reproductive organs; intracranial diseases; other endocrine dysfunctions, such as thyroid and adrenal cortex dysfunction, diabetes, Sheehan's disease, liver diseases, blood diseases, etc. Those who use endocrine preparations or intrauterine contraceptive devices may have menstrual irregularities, and some professions, such as long-distance runners, are prone to amenorrhea. In addition, some abnormal bleeding during pregnancy is often mistaken for menstrual irregularities.

From this we can see that there are many reasons for irregular menstruation, not just one factor. Therefore, I hope that the majority of female compatriots will start from a comprehensive approach when preventing diseases to prevent the invasion of diseases.
