Why do you suffer from insomnia during early menstruation?

　　It is generally believed that insomnia in the early stages of menstruation is normal and not disease signs. Some experts pointed out that the reason for this physiological phenomenon is female Caused by a decrease in estrogen in the body at the beginning of menstruation.

　　Why does estrogen decrease at the beginning of menstruation? This is mainly related to the fact that the menstrual cycle is regulated by the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis. hypothalamus in central nerve Under the control of the system, it is excited and produces gonadotropin-releasing hormone, causing the pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and a small amount of luteinizing hormone (LH). These pituitary hormones cause the follicles in the ovary to develop and grow, and as the follicles gradually mature, they secrete more and more estrogen, causing Uterus Intimal hyperplasia and secretion of LH cause the follicle to grow rapidly and eventually rupture to release a mature egg, which is ovulation.

　　After ovulation, the ruptured follicles form a corpus luteum and produce more and more progesterone, causing the proliferated endometrium to enter the secretory phase or premenstrual phase. If the discharged egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum will degenerate, and the secretion of progesterone and estrogen will gradually decrease, leading to the degeneration and peeling of the endometrium and the onset of menstruation. Because estrogen participates in the regulation of autonomic nerves, symptoms of autonomic nerve disorders such as nervousness and insomnia may occur in the early stages of menstruation.

　　Research shows that if women with insomnia can supplement estrogen at the beginning of menstruation, it can help overcome insomnia. If the symptoms are more severe, they can be given sedative medication. In addition, women themselves must treat their menstrual period correctly, maintain a good psychological state, reasonably arrange their life, work and study, and pay attention to physical exercise. exercise and appropriate labor to enhance physical fitness and improve resistance to disease.

　　Menstrual insomnia is not terrible. Only with dialectical conditioning can you survive the annoying menstrual cycle and live happily every day.
