Understanding and Managing Menstrual Disorders in Women: Causes and Solutions

March 5, 2024

   Menstrual disorder is a problem faced by many women during their reproductive years. We all know that menstruation is an important channel for women to detoxify, but due to the menstrual disorders in many women, toxins cannot be eliminated properly, leading to various problems. Below, we will analyze the reasons for female menstrual disorders and the methods to solve them.
 


 

  (1) Stress

  Expert analysis: Women of reproductive age who are under long-term stress will inhibit the function of the pituitary gland, causing the ovaries to stop secreting female hormones and not ovulating, which will lead to menstrual disorders. Similarly, long-term mood depression, anger, or emotional distress can also affect menstruation.

  Method:

  1. Relieve mental stress by engaging in activities such as swimming and running for 30 minutes once or twice a week.

  2. Eat more stress-reducing foods such as bananas, cabbage, potatoes, corn, and tomatoes.

  (2) Exposure to Cold

  Expert analysis: When women are exposed to cold during menstruation, the blood vessels in the pelvic cavity will constrict, leading to ovarian dysfunction, which can cause insufficient menstrual flow or even amenorrhea.

  Method:

  1. Keep warm during menstruation, avoid getting wet in the rain, water activities, swimming, and drinking cold drinks, especially avoid exposing the lower body to cold.

  2. Add foods such as legumes, pumpkin, ginger, chestnuts, and oranges to your diet; in addition, vinegar, vegetable oil, chili, pepper, and seafood all have certain effects on menstrual disorders caused by this situation.
 


 

  (3) Electromagnetic Waves

  Expert analysis: Various household appliances and electronic devices produce different electromagnetic waves during use. Prolonged exposure to these electromagnetic waves can have a negative impact on women's endocrine and reproductive organs, leading to endocrine disorders and menstrual disorders.

  Method:

  1. Use protective measures when using computers in daily life.

  2. Installing a hands-free earpiece on your mobile phone is a safer option. Of course, it is best not to use your phone for long periods of time.

  3. Use the microwave less and avoid placing the refrigerator in the bedroom. Pay attention to the scientific use of electrical appliances, try to avoid using multiple appliances at the same time, and do not use them for too long or too frequently.

  4. Eating more foods rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, and protein such as carrots, bean sprouts, and tomatoes, and regularly drinking green tea can effectively prevent and reduce the harm of electromagnetic pollution to the body.

  (4) Constipation

  Expert analysis: Constipation can cause menstrual disorders in women. After the rectum is excessively filled with stool, the cervix will be pushed forward and the uterus will tilt backward. If the uterus stays in a tilted position for a long time, the veins in the broad ligament will be compressed and not smooth, and the uterine wall will become congested and lose elasticity. If the uterus remains in a tilted position for a long time, it can cause back pain and menstrual disorders.

  Method:

  1. Drink one or two bowls of hot vegetable soup on an empty stomach every morning, which has a significant effect on treating constipation.

  2. Eucommia tea is a good drink for constipation, which can relieve constipation and reduce fat. Drinking lemon juice in the morning and evening or after meals can promote digestion, help with weight loss, and have a laxative effect.

  3. Walnuts and dried plums are snacks that can lubricate the intestines and promote bowel movements; eating less coffee and more bananas can also promote bowel movements, but excessive consumption can be counterproductive.
 


 

  (5) Abuse of Medications

  Expert analysis: Overuse or frequent use of antibiotics can cause menstrual disorders, anovulation, and amenorrhea in women. This may be because the drugs suppress and damage the body's own resistance, leading to functional disorders.

  Method:

  1. Good self-immunity will help you resist minor illnesses.

  2. Do not upgrade antibiotics casually. Once you use a high-level antibiotic, a low-level one will no longer work because the bacteria have developed resistance to it. Therefore, consult a doctor before taking medication and be cautious about upgrading.

  (6) Smoking

  Expert analysis: Nicotine in tobacco can reduce the secretion of hormones, thereby interfering with physiological processes related to menstruation and causing menstrual disorders. Women who smoke more than one pack per day have three times the risk of menstrual disorders compared to non-smokers.

  Method:

  1. Change bad habits and quit smoking decisively.

  2. Supplement vitamin C appropriately. Vitamin C can alleviate the harm of smoking to the body. You can take some vitamin C tablets or eat more fruits such as oranges, lemons, and kiwis.
