The normal menstrual cycle is around 28 days, but some women have their periods 10 days earlier or even twice a month, which is called early menstruation.

So what is the reason for having a 10 day early menstrual cycle? What should I do if my menstrual cycle advances by 10 days?

The causes of premature menstruation include organic lesions or medication, including local inflammation, tumors and developmental abnormalities of the reproductive organs, and malnutrition; Intracranial disorders; Other endocrine disorders such as thyroid dysfunction.
2. Caused by endocrine disorders
The reason for premature menstruation is caused by neuroendocrine dysfunction, mainly due to unstable or defective function of the hypothalamic pituitary ovarian axis, known as menstrual disorders.
