What causes excessive bleeding between periods?

For women, once gynecological diseases occur, the harm to the body is very great, especially many women will have various problems during menstruation, among which excessive bleeding during menstruation is a disease that troubles many women. It often brings great pain to women. If not treated in time, it may cause the disease to become more and more serious. Among them, excessive intermenstrual bleeding is the most troubling problem for women. If such a problem occurs, we must grasp the cause and mediate it in time. Let’s understand what is going on with excessive intermenstrual bleeding.

What causes excessive bleeding between periods?

Uterine fibroids

The typical symptoms of uterine fibroids are menorrhagia and secondary anemia, but some patients may have no symptoms.

The incidence of uterine fibroids is very high, reaching 20% ​​to 25%, but about 99.5% of them are benign. The main reasons for increased bleeding caused by uterine fibroids are: the area of ​​the endometrium increases, the endometrium proliferates due to the action of estrogen, the fibroids hinder uterine contraction, and affect blood circulation, causing endometrial congestion. Due to long-term bleeding, patients often have varying degrees of anemia. In addition to causing excessive menstruation, uterine fibroids can also compress the bladder, urethra or rectum, causing frequent urination, difficulty urinating, urinary retention or constipation. When the fibroids grow to both sides, broad ligament fibroids are formed. When they compress the ureter, they can cause hydroureteral or renal pelvis; if they compress the pelvic blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, they can cause lower limb edema.

Sheung Wan

In real life, some women often experience heavy menstruation, prolonged menstrual cycle, dysmenorrhea, etc. after having an IUD inserted. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, not all of which are caused by the contraceptive ring itself. The endometrium is very fragile. If bacteria or viruses are introduced into the endometrium during IUD insertion, or if hygiene is not paid attention to after IUD insertion, it can easily cause uterine infection, excessive bleeding, prolonged menstruation, and dysmenorrhea. However, the possibility of infection during IUD insertion rarely occurs in regular hospitals.

Excessive menstruation after IUD insertion requires serious diagnosis and treatment. Under normal circumstances, IUD insertion will not cause excessive menstruation. Excessive menstruation is a disease in itself. If your menstrual period increases significantly after IUD insertion and is accompanied by abdominal pain, back pain, prolapse, fever, excessive bleeding, and vaginal discharge with an odor, you should be alert and go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Of course, if X-ray, B-ultrasound, and hysterography confirm that the problem is with the shape or position of the contraceptive ring, it should be replaced in time. This has a good effect on ulcerative bleeding caused by local pressure from the contraceptive ring, because after replacement the bleeding area has a chance to repair, facilitating the healing of the ulcer surface.

Endometriosis

Simply put, endometriosis is the growth of tissue that is normally found in the lining of the uterine wall in other locations. These "ectopic" endometriums interfere with the normal functions of the reproductive organs and are often accompanied by various menstrual disorders - prolonged menstruation, excessive menstrual bleeding, premenstrual spotting, etc.

?????? In addition to menorrhagia, patients with endometriosis often suffer from secondary and progressive dysmenorrhea. The pain is mostly located in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region, and may radiate to the vagina, perineum, anus or thigh. It usually starts 1 to 2 days before menstruation, is most severe on the first day of menstruation, and continues until gradually subsides after menstruation, but it progressively worsens with the menstrual cycle, and the degree of pain is not proportional to the size of the lesion. Therefore, when a woman's menstrual volume gradually increases and is accompanied by increasingly severe dysmenorrhea, she should suspect whether she has endometriosis.

It is important to mention here that when women take birth control pills, if they fail to take them according to the prescription information, miss doses or take them by mistake, it can also cause hormonal disorders, affecting the development of the endometrium and causing abnormal bleeding. At this time, some of the patient's symptoms are very similar to those of endometriosis.

Dysfunction

If a woman often experiences irregular menstruation, variable menstrual flow, irregular periods, premenstrual spotting and other symptoms, and cannot find other obvious reasons, then it is likely that functional abnormalities are at work. In fact, excessive menstruation in many women is sometimes not pathological. For example, when entering menopause, menstruation becomes irregular. At this time, it is time to consider the possibility of functional disorder. The estrogen disorder that many people often mention is this case.

??????? After excluding the "organic" causes of menorrhagia, the different menstrual phases, basal body temperature measurement, blood hormone measurement, diagnostic curettage, ultrasound scanning, M-gang and other auxiliary examinations can be used to distinguish the type of hormone imbalance and its possible causes, and then provide targeted treatment and health care.

The above is an introduction to what causes excessive intermenstrual bleeding. After understanding it, we all know that it is caused by some gynecological diseases, so female friends must pay attention to it. Once any abnormal situation occurs, they must consult a doctor in time. In addition, female friends must pay attention to adjusting their life details, maintaining physical and mental happiness, and also pay attention to adjusting their diet to eat light food and maintain adequate sleep. If there are abnormal leucorrhea or irregular menstruation, they should go to a regular hospital for examination in time.
