ABSTRACT

The endocrine system is one of the important systems that maintain physiological balance in the human body, and its abnormalities are closely related to the occurrence of various diseases, especially irregular menstruation in women. Irregular menstruation not only affects women's quality of life, but also has a negative impact on fertility. Therefore, exploring the relationship between endocrine abnormalities and menstrual irregularities has important clinical significance. Although numerous studies have explored the relationship between endocrine abnormalities and menstrual irregularities, the conclusions are inconsistent. This article systematically evaluated the degree of association between endocrine disorders and menstrual irregularities through meta-analysis. Firstly, the background knowledge of endocrine disorders and menstrual irregularities is introduced, and then the progress and shortcomings of related research are reviewed. Next, the research method, experimental investigation results, and discussion of this article were introduced in detail. Through meta-analysis, this article found a significant correlation between endocrine abnormalities and menstrual irregularities.
