Is heavy menstrual flow good or bad?

The amount of menstrual flow varies from person to person. Women with different physiques have different amounts of menstrual flow, and certain factors in daily life can also cause changes in the amount of menstrual flow. However, there will not be any abnormal situation. Once there is a situation like a heavy amount of menstrual flow, it will definitely make women very worried. So, is heavy menstrual flow good or bad? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

The amount of menstrual flow varies from woman to woman, generally ranging from 20 to 100 ml. It is normal to change sanitary napkins or paper 3 to 5 times a day. If the amount of menstrual blood is too much, the sanitary napkin or paper will become wet again soon after changing it, or even flow down the legs, which is abnormal. Excessive menstrual bleeding may be functional uterine bleeding caused by factors such as excessive mental stress, environmental changes, malnutrition, and metabolic disorders. Long-term excessive menstrual blood can cause anemia, and the cause should be identified and treated.

Excessive menstrual flow is more common among adolescent girls. The main reason is that during puberty, the ovarian function is not yet fully mature, and part of the menstruation at this time is anovulatory. Without ovulation, there is no corpus luteum, and without a corpus luteum, there is a lack of progesterone. Therefore, the endometrium can only be in the proliferative phase and cannot reach the complete secretory phase, resulting in incomplete shedding of the endometrium, which affects the contraction of the uterus and causes excessive menstrual bleeding. If this situation is not paid attention to, over time, symptoms of anemia such as pale complexion, fatigue, and dizziness may appear, and medical treatment should be sought.

Heavy menstruation is mainly caused by excessive menstrual blood volume, which is more than 60.

Women with excessive menstrual flow often have obvious anemia. During and after their menstrual period, they often have symptoms such as palpitations, general weakness, back pain, leg pain, insomnia, and dreaminess. They are also prone to colds and fatigue. They can supplement iron appropriately in months with heavy menstrual flow to prevent the occurrence of anemia, or supplement iron through food.

The above is an introduction to whether heavy menstrual flow is good or bad. I hope it will help women understand. Generally, women's menstrual volume is within a certain range. When abnormal conditions occur, sufficient attention must be paid and the cause must be actively sought. Only when the cause is identified can targeted methods be taken for treatment to avoid causing greater harm to women's bodies.
