On any malfunction in the body of a woman first, as a rule, reacts to its menstrual cycle. So, the cause «Wrong monthly» May become a serious illness - endometriosis.

Today instead of the usual word «period» increasingly you have to hear more fashionable and modern «critical days». But should these days really be critical? Answer gynecologist – hard «No»! These days should be the same comfortable and easy, like everyone else.
What are meant under the concept «Normal menstrual cycle». This is the period from the beginning (and not from the end, as many mistakenly consider) the next bloody discharges before the beginning of the following, which, depending on the individual characteristics, is normally 21-35 days. Monthly monthly should last no more than 7 days, be moderate in terms of losing blood and painless.
Any deviation from these rules (irregular, too abundant, with clots or scant, long, painful menstruation, intermenstrual or «Contact» (after sexual proximity) bleeding) regardless of age requires visit to the gynecologist. Correct your menstrual cycle correctly and in time to notice any deviations in it will help you menstrual calendar, in which it is desirable to celebrate not only the date of the beginning of the next «Monthly», But their abundance, duration and pain. Ideally, the maintenance of such a calendar must be mandatory for any woman.
Irregular rare «period» Or their absence can be a reflection of various endocrine pathologies, since the regularity of the cycle affects not only the operation of the ovaries, but also other endocrine glands (thyroid gland, adrenal glands, pituitary glands, hypothalamus).
Scooty shorts «period» may also be a reflection of endocrine pathology, however, it may be a consequence of injury to the mucous membrane after an abortion or scraping of the uterine cavity.
Frequent, abundant, with clots, prolonged or intermenstrual bleeding can be both manifestation of the inflammatory process and intrauterine pathology. The latter is very diverse: it is also polyps of uterine cavity, and endometrial hyperplasia (excessive growth of the mucous membrane), and the uterine myoma, especially if the myomatous assembly is located in such a way that it causes deformation of the uterine cavity, and such a dormal disease as endometriosis (we will say about it below). We must not forget about such formidable pathology, like endometrial cancer. Rarely, but the above cycle disorders can be a consequence of blood coagulation issues.
Contact bleeding may occur against the background of the inflammatory process, with erosion or cervical polyps, as well as with cancer of its defeat.
Painful «period», or dysmenorrhea, may occur with the wrong position of the uterus; at a young age, when the imbalance is noted in the development of prostaglandins - substances affecting the occurrence of pain and the correct reduction in the muscles of the uterus during menstruation; With endometriosis.
Endometriosis and other dangers
Endometriosis – This is a disease in which a normal mucosa can be located anywhere (in the thickness of the muscular tissue of the uterus, on the ovaries, pipes, peritoneum, sometimes even in the bladder, lungs, rectum). This mucous membrane is also exposed to the hormonal effects of ovaries and in the same way «menstruates», But in places, absolutely not adapted to it, which in addition to abundant, long, painful menstruation, can lead to the development of the adhesive process, infertility, the formation of ovarian cysts.
If the girl is 15 years old, and she has never had «Monthly», It is also worth a concern, as it can be a manifestation of endocrine pathology or anomalies of the development of genital organs. If «period» were regular and suddenly disappeared, it is natural to think about pregnancy, but this may be a consequence of endocrine pathology, or a cervical channel intensify after transferred abortion or inflammation.
It should not also forget that a wide variety of cycle violations (delay, scarce, which came not in time, long-term beaming bleeding or bleeding) can occur against a background of such a dangerous pathology as an ectopic pregnancy; This, however, is possible and on the background of interrupted or frozen uterine pregnancy.
It also wants to mention such a common misconception as «Pregnancy coming through monthly». No bloody discharge from the vagina against the background of pregnancy in a woman should not be that most often happens on a small period of pregnancy, this is one of the signs of the threat of its interrupt and requires immediate appeal to the gynecologist.
I want to contact all women «Balzakovsky age»: Do not hurry to write off your cycle violations on your climax, they can also be a manifestation of endocrine or intrauterine pathology, which often manifests itself in transition. Moreover, it is necessary to worry women who have on the background «menopause» in a year and more than the last «Monthly» Suddenly there are any bloody seals from sex tract.
As you can see, lovely women, for a large variety of menstrual disorders hides an even greater variety of gynecological pathologies, therefore, regardless of your own assumptions, still provide the right to diagnose a specialist gynecologist. And let in your life there will be more happy days!
