People's Daily Health Client Reporter Zhang He Intern Reporter Hou Jiaxin
On October 11th, #It turns out that there are not only menstruation but also seasonal season# has become a hot search on Weibo, which has aroused discussion among many netizens.
Chief physician of the Gynecological Endocrinology and Reproductive Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital Deng Chengyan told the People's Daily Health Client reporter that menstruation refers to the periodic shedding of the endometrium that occurs with the periodic changes in the development of follicles in the ovaries, and is excreted from the body in the form of bleeding, usually once a month, so we call it menstruation. The normal menstrual cycle range is 28 days ± 7 days, that is, between 21 days and 35 days, and about 10% of women have the most standard menstrual cycle of 28 days. Medically, menstrual cycles less than 21 days are called frequent menstruation; menstrual cycles more than 35 days are called thin menstruation, and both are also called irregular menstruation or menstrual disorders.
"Some women have menstruation every three months, and the folk saying is this "seasonal meridian". There are also women who have menstruation every year, which is called "yearly meridian". ", Deng Chengyan said, "Although it seems to be a regular menstruation, because the menstrual cycle is too long, it is still diagnosed as menstrual disorders. For example, patients with polycystic ovary syndrome may have menstruation three to four months, six months, or even once a year."
When talking about whether the sensual meridian is harmful to the human body, Deng Chengyan said that most women with menstrual disorders are aovoid, and absent will lack progesterone, and the endometrium requires the combined effect of estrogen and progesterone; if the endometrium is affected by a single estrogen for a long time, endometrium may become lesions and eventually develop into endometrial cancer; a very small number of long-term women may have ovulation, and the endometrium will be protected by progesterone. However, it is difficult for people with non-medical backgrounds to judge, and women with menstrual disorders need to seek help from professional doctors in a timely manner.
Deng Chengyan said that in addition to the above statements, there are also medical terms such as amenorrhea and menopause . Amenorrhea can be divided into two types: " primary amenorrhea " means that the age is older than 14 years old, the second sexual characteristics of are not developed; or the age is older than 16 years old, the second sexual characteristics have developed, and the menstruation is still in the future. " secondary amenorrhea " refers to the menstrual period after the establishment of the menstrual cycle, and the menstrual period is stopped for more than 6 months, or the period is stopped for more than 3 cycles based on the original irregular menstrual cycle. Menopause refers to ovarian failure and menstrual termination. Generally speaking, amenorrhea for women aged 45-55 is menopause after more than one year.
Deng Chengyan finally said that the ancients called menstruation "monthly credentials", which is a signal of normal or abnormal gynecological endocrine. Once menstruation is abnormal, please seek medical treatment in time.
