What to do if your menstruation lasts for 10 days

Menstrual health issues cannot be ignored, of course, but some women will find that each time they have menstruation, it lasts for more than 10 days. This is an abnormal phenomenon because the normal menstrual period should be between 2 and 7 days. If it exceeds 10 days, it may be caused by reproductive health problems, such as what we usually call functional uterine bleeding. The following is the solution.

"Uterine blood". Functional uterine bleeding (abbreviated as uterine bleeding), known as metrorrhagia in traditional Chinese medicine, refers to the untimely and continuous menstrual bleeding. If the onset is rapid and the amount of bleeding is heavy, it is called "melao"; if the onset is slow, the amount of bleeding is small, but the duration is long, it is called "leakage". This disease is a common disease in obstetrics and gynecology, characterized by severe disorders of menstrual cycle and menstrual volume. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the pathogenesis of this disease is mainly due to damage to the Chong and Ren meridians, which cannot control menstrual blood, so menstrual blood flows from the uterus at an untimely time. Clinically, it is generally divided into five types: blood heat type, blood deficiency type, spleen deficiency type, blood stasis type, and liver and kidney yang deficiency type. Syndrome differentiation and treatment can achieve good results. The following syndrome differentiation introduces several dietary recipes for treating "uterine bleeding":

1) Patients with blood heat type present with heavy bleeding, bright red in color, with small blood clots, which is sometimes more and sometimes less, and is continuous, accompanied by headache, bitter taste in the mouth, irritability, red lips and face, burning urine, dry stool, red tongue with yellow coating, and slippery and rapid pulse. Corn silk stewed with lean meat: Take 30 grams of corn silk, 120 grams of lean meat, an appropriate amount of refined salt and a little MSG. Cut the lean meat into pieces and put it into a ceramic pot together with the corn silk. Add 500 ml of water, cover it and steam it in a steamer until the meat is cooked. Add refined salt and MSG and take it while hot, once a day.

2) Blood deficiency type patients present with excessive or unclear menstrual flow, light color without clots, dizziness and palpitations, pale or sallow complexion, shortness of breath and laziness to speak, fatigue and weight loss, pale tongue, thin white fur, and thready and weak pulse or weak pulse when pressed hard. Stewed chicken with cuttlefish bones: use 30 grams each of cuttlefish bones and angelica, 100 grams of chicken, appropriate amount of fine salt and MSG. Dice the chicken, slice the angelica, crush the cuttlefish bones, put them into a ceramic pot, add 500 ml of water and appropriate amount of fine salt, steam them in a steamer, eat once a day, usually 3-5 times will show results.

3) Patients with spleen deficiency type have symptoms such as untimely menstruation, metrorrhagia followed by dripping, light blood in color and thin texture, shortness of breath, fatigue, pale complexion, poor appetite, pale tongue, thin white fur, and weak pulse. Stewed lychees with lotus seeds: Take 20 dried lychees and 60 grams of lotus seeds. Remove the shells and cores of the dried lychees and the cores of the lotus seeds. Wash them and place them in a ceramic jar with 500 ml of water. Steam them in a steamer over medium heat and then take them. It usually takes 3-7 times to take effect.
