What causes long menstrual periods?

Now I am under more and more pressure in life. Not only do men need it, but women have also joined the army of staying up late. They can't eat breakfast in the morning and have irregular meals at noon. This will affect their menstruation. Women will have prolonged menstruation. Below we will introduce why prolonged menstruation occurs.

Excessive menstrual bleeding or prolonged menstruation is called menorrhagia. Women will lose a lot of blood every time they have their period. The causes of excessive menstrual bleeding may be uterine or hormonal. If it is caused by the uterus, it may be uterine fibroids (benign tumors), uterine polyps (excess endometrium), endometritis, or due to the placement of an IUD or IUD displacement. If it is caused by hormones, it is excessive progesterone. This causes the endometrium to thicken and shed, causing heavy menstrual bleeding. This condition often occurs in adolescent girls, premenopausal women, and women with irregular menstruation. Psychological factors can sometimes prolong the menstrual period, but once the psychological tension is eliminated, everything will return to normal.

Normal menstrual bleeding usually lasts for 3 to 7 days. If it exceeds 10 days, it can be considered as prolonged bleeding. Excessive menstrual bleeding can be caused by many reasons, the most common ones are: fatigue during menstruation, cold, endocrine disorders, IUD insertion, gynecological inflammation, uterine fibroids, blood diseases, liver or kidney diseases, endometrial abnormalities, etc. After the bleeding stops, six sex hormones and B-ultrasound should be checked to find out the cause and then treat the disease symptomatically. Use hemostatic drugs when necessary. Pay attention to keeping warm and resting during menstruation.

The spleen is responsible for regulating blood. If the spleen is weak and cannot regulate blood, it will cause prolonged menstruation. The kidney is the foundation of one's innate constitution. If the kidney qi is not solid, it will also cause prolonged menstruation. You can take Chinese medicine to strengthen the spleen and kidneys and replenish qi and blood. Do not do strenuous exercise or wash clothes with cold water during menstruation.

First of all, the continuous menstruation process is a pathological manifestation, which is closely related to the spleen and kidneys. Under normal circumstances, our menstrual period should be three to seven days, but if it lasts too long, it proves that there is a problem with our kidneys. Because your menstruation is controlled by the kidneys, it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time and do a B-ultrasound examination of your uterus.
