In recent years, all kinds of TV and street[Infertility]] Advertisements are rampant, and more and more relatives, friends, neighbors and colleagues seem to have reproductive difficulties.
Influenced by the environmental atmosphere, many women begin to have an inexplicable anxiety about their fertility, especially some women with irregular menstruation, who are especially worried that their irregular menstruation will cause pregnancy difficulties or even infertility.
So, is irregular menstruation related to infertility?
Can irregular menstruation cause infertility?
Many people know that the menstrual cycle is closely related to ovulation, while ovulation in what is directly related to pregnancy.
Some women with irregular menstruation follow the idea of menstrual cycle-ovulation-pregnancy, and intuition is that irregular menstruation will affect pregnancy, affect pregnancy will affect fertility, there will be fertility difficulties, infertility, and no baby…
But! This idea is not so reasonable!
In fact, irregular menstruation is only a symptom, just like fever, many reasons may cause fever, and most of the fever may be just the common cold, only a small part of the fever is caused by some serious diseases.
Irregular menstruation is the same reason. It seems that the symptoms are the same, but the reasons behind it are quite different.
For example, mental stress, malnutrition, underweight or overweight, excessive diet, excessive exercise, contraceptives, certain diseases, etc., all of which may cause fluctuations in the menstrual cycle and lead to irregular menstruation.
Among these reasons, some may cause infertility, such as polycystic ovary syndrome.
When irregular menstruation is found, it should be found out that the cause is what. It is not necessary to deal with the cause and struggle with infertility without finding the cause.
Of course, first of all, you need to know how to judge whether you have irregular menstruation.
Does regular menstruation have what characteristics?
Generally speaking, menstruation rules generally have the following three characteristics:
- Menstrual cycle: average 28 days, general 21 ~ 35 days this range is normal. Menstrual cycle is calculated by the interval of the first day of two menstruations. Menstrual period: is the duration of menstruation, average 4 ~ 6 days, usually in 2 ~ 8 days this range is also normal. Menstrual volume: Generally speaking, the total amount of bleeding during a menstruation is 20 ~ 60 mL.
It should be specially emphasized here that although menstruation has a word [month] in its name, it does not mean [once a month].
Because the number of days in a month is fixed (only 28, 29, 30 and 31), and the number of days in the menstrual cycle is more likely (generally in the range of 21 to 35 days).
If the menstrual cycle is shorter than the number of days in one month, sometimes there will be two menstruations in one month. If the menstrual cycle is longer than the number of days in one month, sometimes there will be a situation where a certain month is empty and menstruation does not come.
And these conditions are not irregular menstruation.
The most important thing about menstruation rules is that you have rules with yourself. As long as the interval between two menstruations, the duration of each menstruation and the amount of menstruation are similar, then it is regular.
Although some women will have dysmenorrhea or other uncomfortable manifestations, it has nothing to do with irregular menstruation, nor is it irregular menstruation.
In a menstrual cycle, ovulation usually occurs 14 days before the next menstruation comes, taking the menstrual cycle 28 days as an example, from the first day of menstruation, ovulation will generally occur on the 14th day. According to this rule, women with normal menstruation can easily calculate their ovulation period, and can greatly improve the probability of conception near the ovulation period.
Does irregular menstruation have what characteristics?
Basically, the three characteristics that do not have normal menstruation are irregular menstruation. Whether the menstrual cycle is too long (more than 35 days or even longer), or menstruation is frequent and irregular, or the duration of menstruation is too long, these are all manifestations of irregular menstruation.
For women with irregular menstruation, it is impossible to use the above estimation method to estimate the ovulation time, because it is difficult to predict when what will come next menstruation.
Can’t predict whether ovulation time will affect pregnancy?
Although there is a chance of pregnancy as long as there is ovulation, there is irregular menstruation, which often means irregular ovulation and even sometimes anovulation.
For pregnant women, if there is abnormal ovulation or anovulation, it will cause certain difficulties to pregnancy.
Although irregular menstruation can also be used to judge the ovulation period by measuring the basic body temperature and observing cervical mucus, these changes are sometimes not easy to distinguish, and one should always pay attention to the subtle changes of one’s body, which may bring greater psychological pressure.
What should I do if I find irregular menstruation?
Although a woman has hundreds of menstruations in her life, there is no need to worry too much about occasional fluctuations.
However, when one finds out that one’s menstruation is not allowed, one also needs to be more vigilant.
You can recall your recent life first, whether you are under too much pressure or not, whether you have too much exercise, adjust in time, and see if you can recover the law when your next menstruation comes.
However, if you have not allowed menstruation for two or three consecutive periods, or if your menstrual cycle has been irregular for a long time, then it is necessary to go to the hospital.
Don’t take some drugs or health care products on your own initiative until the cause of the disease is clear.
Go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment, and make it clear that the reason behind irregular menstruation is the real thing.
