Almost both men and women know that a normal woman has a regular menstrual cycle once a month, but there are still a small number of women who have a menstrual cycle every two weeks. What's going on? Wait for the editor to come with you.
What's going on with a menstrual cycle every two weeks?
Menstruation once every half month is mostly due to ovulation bleeding. This seemingly "menstrual" vaginal bleeding is not actually a true "menstrual period". It has a shorter bleeding time and a relatively smaller amount of bleeding.
Ovulation bleeding is actually a physiological phenomenon. Currently, many opinions suggest that this is related to changes in estrogen levels during ovulation. When the hormones secreted by the pituitary gland reach a certain level, they will induce follicles to gradually develop and mature. After the rupture of mature follicles, if the level of estrogen in the body drops sharply to the point where it cannot maintain the continued growth of the endometrium, it can lead to endometrial necrosis and shedding, resulting in a breakthrough small amount of bleeding. With the formation of follicles after ovulation, the corpus luteum secretes sufficient amounts of estrogen and progesterone, which quickly repairs the ruptured endometrium and stops bleeding.
Is it normal for menstruation to occur every two weeks?
Is it normal for menstruation to occur every two weeks? If your menstrual cycle is abnormal, don't compare yourself to others, but to yourself. The length of menstrual cycles varies, and the key to determining whether they are normal or not depends on whether a long-term pattern has been formed. This has been the case for one or two years. If the estrogen levels in the body are normal, ovulation is normal, and there are no other discomforts, it is considered normal.
In addition to menstruation that occurs every 21-35 days and menstrual periods such as amenorrhea, pregnancy, menopause, and early puberty, there is also a special type of normal menstruation that occurs every 40-50 days, every two months, every three months, or even once a year. As long as it forms a regular pattern and does not cause any physical discomfort, it is normal.
Judging whether menstruation is normal or not also depends on other factors such as menstrual period and menstrual color. Regardless of the menstrual cycle, a normal period should be 3-7 days. A period of less than 3 days indicates low luteal function and rapid shedding of the endometrium. Experts point out that in addition to the requirements of the cycle and menstrual period, normal menstrual bleeding is 30-50 milliliters, with a deep red color, no thinness, no coagulation, no blood clots, and no special odor. In addition, the absence of significant emotional fluctuations and other obvious discomfort before and after menstruation is also a standard for measuring whether menstruation is normal or not. Those who do not meet the above conditions may seek medical treatment. Don't be too nervous about occasional menstrual irregularities. If they occur repeatedly for more than two cycles, consider seeking medical attention.
