The term “great aunt” generally refers to a woman’s menstruation. Shorter and shorter menstrual cycles may be caused by luteal insufficiency, endocrine disorders, age-related factors, etc. It is recommended to improve the symptoms by taking medications and removing the triggering factors under the guidance of a doctor.

Luteal insufficiency: When there is luteal insufficiency, it may lead to insufficient luteal secretion, premature atrophy of the corpus luteum, etc., resulting in short menstrual cycles, prolonged menstrual periods, and increased menstrual flow. It is recommended to use drugs such as dydrogesterone tablets and progesterone capsules under doctor’s guidance.

Endocrine disorders: Some women may suffer from endocrine disorders due to frequent late nights and poor dietary habits, which may lead to hormonal disorders in the body, resulting in shorter and shorter menstrual cycles. It is recommended to remove the triggering factors to improve the symptoms, but sometimes also need to take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
Commonly used drugs include progestins (medroxyprogesterone, medroxyprogesterone), estrogens (estradiol valerate, estrone hypogestrel), contraceptives (ethinylestradiol cyproterone, levonorgestrel), and so on.
