Why does my stomach feel bloated when my menstrual flow is heavy?

Nowadays, most women pay great attention to their bodies, especially menstruation. Menstruation is a sign of whether a woman's body is healthy and normal and whether her sexual organs are healthy. However, the pace of life is accelerating and the pressure of life is increasing, which causes many women to have irregular menstruation, such as heavy menstruation or delayed menstruation. Especially when menstruation just starts, many women experience heavy flow and bloating. Let’s find out below.

There are many reasons for irregular menstruation, heavy menstrual flow and abdominal distension, which can be clinically divided into two categories: one is functional, such as irregular menstruation caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also cause irregular menstruation. Endocrine disorders can lead to the instability of the Chong and Ren meridians, resulting in the lack of control over menstrual blood, leading to symptoms of excessive menstruation and blood stasis. However, if the menstrual volume is larger in the first two days of menstruation, it is normal. It is not abnormal to have blood clots. It is related to the level of endometrial shedding. If the menstrual volume exceeds 80ml, it is necessary to see what causes it. Long-term excessive menstruation may be caused by infection, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, blood disease, or functional abnormalities.

To treat irregular menstruation, you must first check B-ultrasound and six sex hormones to identify the specific cause, treat the primary disease, and then appropriately use some Chinese medicine to regulate menstruation. Pay attention to keeping warm and resting during menstruation.
