Menstruation came earlier (5-10 days, 2 weeks): causes of premature

Even women with a regular menstrual cycle experience irregularities associated with internal or external factors. Therefore, do not panic if your period came earlier or later than the designated date and you feel good. If menstruation occurs 10 days earlier, the nature of the discharge changes, and the state of health worsens - this may indicate the development of a pathological process. In this case, one cannot do without consulting a qualified gynecologist. If you ignore the alarming symptom, the inflammatory process is complicated by infertility, advanced stage of endometriosis, and so on.

The normal cycle lasts 21–35 days. Suppose there is a bloody discharge from the uterus every 27 days. If menstruation came in 20 days, then they came a week earlier, which means they are considered premature.

If your period came 10 days ahead of schedule, the reason for this may be pregnancy, illness, psychophysical disorder, shift in hormonal balance, medication and injury. We will consider these factors in more detail below.

Psycho-emotional overexcitement

A woman under stress can have a spike in blood pressure. And as a result, internal spasms, dilation of blood vessels. If your period came about 5 days earlier, look for the reasons in your psycho-emotional state. If the cycle breakdown is caused by stress, remove yourself from the annoying factor, take a rest and next month the critical days will come on time.

Hormonal imbalance

The female body is quite fragile, and its health depends on the stability of the hormonal balance. At the slightest failure, menstruation occurs ahead of schedule or with a delay, signaling a problem. Malfunction of the reproductive system, endocrine disorders, excess estrogen or progesterone can be triggered by serious pathological conditions, taking hormonal drugs.

Do not self-medicate and take hormonal drugs uncontrollably. Only a doctor can choose an effective, safe therapy for the body.

Pregnancy and lactation

If your period starts early, goes little and becomes scarce, this may indicate pregnancy, and the pharmacy test will show two brightly colored stripes. Some time after ovulation, during the attachment of the embryo to the body of the uterus, the mucous membrane is disturbed and bloody discharge appears. This phenomenon is called implantation bleeding.
When a woman is breastfeeding, hormonal changes take place in her body. As a result, the hormone responsible for milk production takes the leading position. The menstrual cycle begins to fluctuate, and periods start early or late.

Ectopic pregnancy

A serious pathological condition in which the ovum is not attached to the body of the uterus, but "takes root" inside the tube. Developing and increasing in size, the embryo ruptures the tube, and a woman can die without timely medical attention. Consultation with a gynecologist is necessary if premature menstruation is accompanied by drowsiness, nausea and other signs of upcoming motherhood, but the test shows a negative result. Based on the results of an ultrasound examination, a specialist will confirm or deny the presence of pathology.

Contraceptive methods

After the installation of the intrauterine device, critical days may begin ahead of time - this is the norm. The body's adaptation process takes 12 weeks, sometimes more. If 4 months have passed and the cycle has not returned to normal, you need to see a doctor. The violation can be caused by improper installation of an intrauterine contraceptive.

Uncontrolled use of hormonal contraceptives can also trigger early critical days.

Juvenile period

During the formation of the female reproductive system, the pelvic organs ripen for conception, bearing, childbirth. The process is painless and is accompanied by irregular periods of varying intensity. Two years after menarche, the cycle is finally formed. However, the full activity of the female reproductive system depends on many factors and responds with a failure of the cycle to diseases, climate change and other deviations.

The decline of reproductive function

During pre-menopause, the body experiences stress, provoked by the hormonal "swing". He says goodbye to the ability to reproduce. On the way to menopause, the woman's well-being worsens, and the following symptoms join the unexpected menstruation:

• changes in mood during the period of premenstrual syndrome - PMS (irritability, tearfulness, lethargy);
• increased sweating;
• hot flashes to the face and upper body;
• headaches;
• dryness of the skin, hair, nail plates;
• sleep disturbance;
• a sharp increase / decrease in blood pressure;
• tachycardia.

Preparing for menopause takes months or even years. However, you should not relax, because the above symptoms may indicate the presence of pathology. And only a doctor will be able to distinguish it from the manifestations of premenopause.

Climate change

Acclimatization does not always pass without a trace. Often, a sharp change in climate affects a woman's health, causing disruptions in the menstrual cycle. So if you want to celebrate the New Year holidays in hot countries, think about the possible consequences. And do not be surprised if unexpected periods are overtaken away from home, ahead of their calendar period by 10-15 days.

If you had to change South to North or vice versa, and the cycle does not return to normal for several months, see your doctor. It may be that changes of a different meaning have occurred in the body.

Genital trauma

Blood is released from the genital tract after an injury to the cervix, vagina. This can happen during rough sex, medical manipulation, illiterately installed barrier contraceptives, etc. This kind of discharge is not menstrual and requires urgent medical attention.

Listen to your feelings. Pain that occurs acutely during intercourse is a good reason for calling an ambulance. The appearance of an alarming symptom may indicate a ruptured ovarian cyst or follicle. Without timely medical assistance, these conditions can result in the death of a woman.

Diseases

If your period started 10 days earlier, the pregnancy test shows a negative result, and the above reasons are excluded, a woman should be examined for STDs and reproductive pathology systems. Early detection increases the chances of a favorable prognosis. Early menstruation occurs with such diseases:

1. Endometriosis
2. Myoma.
3. Tumor (malignant or benign etiology).
4. Sexual infections.
5. Inflammatory process in the ovaries.

Any irregularities in the cycle are a reason for contacting a gynecologist. But pay attention to the color and quantity of the discharge. If menstruation began 10 days earlier, is stronger than usual and contains dark clots, refusal of medical help can lead to disastrous consequences.

Wrong way of life

If critical days come unexpectedly, listen to your body. Very often, a failure occurs for the following reasons:

1. Overwork. Menstruation suddenly occurs against the background of frequent high loads. Girls who go to the gym are addicted to strength exercises and women who are engaged in mental work or physically hard work may experience menstrual irregularities. Someone's periods will start ahead of schedule, someone will disappear indefinitely. Even high school girls who overextend their brains during the preparation for the USE complain about the premature arrival of menstruation.
2. Sharp fluctuations in weight. Rapid weight loss or weight gain leads to a disruption in the cycle. The regularity of menstruation returns when the weight is normalized. If this is not possible, the doctor will prescribe hormonal treatment.
   A poor, irregular diet depletes the body, depriving it of important vitamins and minerals. In this case, early periods are common.
3. Diseases of the nervous, endocrine system, colds, viruses and taking medications.
4. Addiction to drugs, alcohol, cigarettes.

Usually, severe pain that occurs during menstruation and during PMS is a significant criterion indicating the presence of pathology.

Hereditary factor

The deviation is not always provoked by pathological reasons, even if the period came 2 weeks earlier. If the doctor found no pathologies or inflammatory processes, ask your close relatives (mothers, grandmothers, aunts) if they have encountered similar failures. If the fact is confirmed, continue to enjoy life.

It is impossible to influence the genetic predisposition to sudden menstruation.

Miscarriage, medical termination of pregnancy

In terms of the negative impact on the female body, spontaneous abortion differs little from a medical one. In both cases, the lining of the uterus is damaged, and it takes time to repair it. During curettage, the doctor can injure the patient. This means one thing: until the reproductive function is fully restored, and the cycle is not stabilized, menstruation may come earlier or later.

Having familiarized yourself with the reasons provoking the onset of menstruation 9-10 days earlier, you need to understand that not all conditions are harmless. Therefore, in this situation, the help of a qualified doctor is needed.

How to deal with a violation of the cycle

The early critical days happen for a number of reasons, so to determine an accurate diagnosis, the doctor asks the woman about her condition, the duration of uterine bleeding. An important role is played by the intensity of secretions, the presence of clots.

If your period came 5-15 days earlier, the nature of the discharge, better than any analyzes, will indicate the reasons that provoked the violation of the cycle. Almost always profuse, early menstruation is accompanied by an ache in the lower back, pain in the lower abdomen.

After establishing the cause that provoked the onset of early menstruation, it must be eliminated. If the gynecological examination did not confirm the presence of pathologies, adhere to the following recommendations:

1. Reduce physical, mental stress, protect the nervous system from stress.
2. Remove yourself from unpleasant people and annoying factors.
3. Create a calm and cozy atmosphere in your home.
4. Take time to rest, including active ones.
5. Don't panic about early menstruation if this is an isolated case.
6. Stop uncontrolled hormone use.
7. Balance your diet by achieving a complete combination of BJU.
8. See your gynecologist at least once a year.

Early menstruation, accompanied by severe pain, may indicate pathology. Taking painkillers can distort the picture of the course of the disease and complicate the diagnostic process. Do not self-medicate, and see your doctor at the first alarming symptoms.
