Shorter menstrual intervals may be a symptom of menopause, but it may also be caused by physiological reasons, shortened follicular phase, endocrine disorders and other reasons.
1. Menopause: Menopause is the perimenopausal period, and women usually enter the perimenopausal period at the age of 45 to 55. If a woman has already reached the age of menopause, shorter and shorter intervals between menstrual periods may be one of the symptoms of menopause.
2. Physiological reasons: Shortening of menstrual cycle may be due to physiological reasons. Usually the menstrual cycle is very regular, but a sudden shortening of menstrual cycle may be related to nervousness and other mental factors.
3. Shortened follicular phase: If the follicular phase becomes shorter, the menstrual cycle will be shortened. Female hormone levels should be checked to see if it is caused by insufficient secretion of follicle stimulating hormone or low estrogen levels.
4. Endocrine disorders: Changes in hormone levels due to endocrine disorders often lead to changes in menstrual volume and duration as well.
If the interval between menstruation becomes shorter, it is recommended to pay attention to rest, keep an optimistic mindset, and if necessary, go to a regular hospital in time for targeted examination to clarify the cause.
