Why does menstruation come early?

　　normal female The menstrual cycle is about 28 days. If a woman's menstrual cycle is always more than 7 days earlier, or even twice in one month, traditional Chinese medicine calls it "premenstrual period", also known as "early menstruation" or "premature menstruation". If it is only 3-5 days ahead and there are no other obvious symptoms, it is within the normal range.

　　Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the normal onset of menstruation is most closely related to the liver, spleen, kidney and Chong and Ren meridians. The causes of early menstruation are mainly closely related to the following two factors.

　　Blood heat: Excessive yang in the body, excessive consumption of spicy food and supplements, depression, and blood loss due to long-term illness are all prone to blood heat. If the blood is hot, blood flow will be in vain, and the flow rate will be accelerated, resulting in early menstruation. Menstrual fluid comes unexpectedly, and blood heat can be divided into excess heat, deficient heat, and liver stagnation turning into heat.

　　Qi deficiency: Improper diet and overwork are most likely to damage the spleen. The spleen is the regulator of blood, causing early menstruation. If there is no fire in the pulse syndrome and the menstruation is early and late, it means that the heart and spleen are weak and cannot be absorbed.

　　Liver stagnation and blood heat: the quantity is more or less, the color is purple-red and lumpy, and the texture is thick. Dizziness, fullness in chest and hypochondrium, lower abdomen and breasts distended pain , mentally depressed, upset and irritable, bitter mouth and dry throat, like to vent loudly, red tongue with thin yellow coating.
