Abnormal emotions: Long-term mental depression, anger, or significant mental stimulation and psychological trauma can lead to menstrual disorders or dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea. This is because the menstrual period is formed by the stimulation of hormones secreted by the ovaries, and the secretion of ovarian hormones is controlled by hormones released by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Therefore, any abnormal function of the ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus will affect menstruation.
Excessive dieting: Research by experts has shown that the fat content in girls should be at least 17% of body weight in order to have their first period, and the fat content in the body should be at least 22% of body weight to maintain a normal menstrual cycle. Excessive dieting, due to insufficient energy intake by the body, leads to the consumption of a large amount of fat and protein in the body, causing a significant lack of estrogen synthesis and affecting menstruation, even causing scanty or absent menstruation. Therefore, women who pursue a slim figure should not diet blindly.
Smoking and alcohol consumption: Some components in cigarette smoke and alcohol can interfere with physiological processes related to menstruation, causing menstrual disorders. Among women who smoke and drink excessively, 25% to 32% seek medical treatment for menstrual disorders. Women who smoke more than one pack of cigarettes a day or consume more than 100 milligrams of high-strength white wine are three times more likely to have menstrual disorders than women who do not smoke or drink excessively.
Dietary imbalance: Do not consume cold food before and during menstruation. Cold stimuli during menstruation can cause excessive contraction of blood vessels in the pelvic cavity, leading to scanty or absent menstruation. Do not consume excessively hot and nourishing food, such as deer antler and donkey-hide gelatin, as it can increase menstrual flow. In addition, women should maintain a regular daily routine, avoid excessive fatigue, especially during menstruation, and avoid cold and dampness.
Various electromagnetic waves: Mobile phones, computers, DV cameras, refrigerators, and other electrical appliances have become increasingly popular in people's lives. However, many women do not know that various household appliances and electronic devices generate different electromagnetic waves during use. Prolonged exposure to these electromagnetic waves can affect women's endocrine and reproductive functions, leading to endocrine disorders and menstrual disorders.
