Menstrual flow doubles after childbirth

Generally, women's menstruation starts at around 13 years old. The length of menstruation varies according to their physical condition. A normal woman's menstruation lasts about 3 to 7 days, but many people often encounter the situation of continuous menstruation, which causes great impact on the body. So what is the reason for heavy menstrual flow? Let’s take a look together.

Heavy menstrual flow that continues?

The menstrual period usually lasts 3-7 days. If the menstrual period is not clean, or even accompanied by chronic lower abdominal pain or abdominal pain during menstruation, it is time to pay attention. If your period is always unclean, it may be caused by illness, medicine or contraceptive ring. The reasons for unclean menstruation are:

1. Multifunctional abnormal uterine bleeding

There are no obvious organic changes, but it may manifest as continuous bleeding or heavy bleeding. The specific manifestation is that the bleeding time increases significantly after the menstrual period comes. In most cases, the menstrual period lasts about 10 days, and some even last as long as 2 months.

2. Uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids growing in different parts of the body will have different symptoms, such as long menstrual periods, heavy menstrual flow, frequent urination, and urgency, or constipation of unknown cause, and even a lump can be felt in the abdomen.

3. Luteal insufficiency

Generally speaking, insufficient progesterone metabolism in progesterone after ovulation or premature contraction of progesterone leading to delayed growth and development of the uterine wall is called luteal insufficiency.

Patients are very likely to experience decreased menstrual cycles, repeated miscarriages or infertility.

4. Impact of contraceptive ring

There is generally a stable period of about half a year after the IUD is inserted. It is normal to feel abdominal discomfort within 3-6 months of having the IUD in place. If you still have a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, back pain, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and menstrual flow twice as much as usual after 7 months, you should see a doctor.

5. Medical abortion

Drugs destroy the body's own female hormone balance, which may lead to insufficient growth hormone metabolism and female hormone disorder. Patients may experience abnormal menstrual cycles, as well as discomfort such as dysmenorrhea, pain during sexual intercourse, and decreased libido.

6. Other

In addition to the above reasons, changes in the natural environment, excessive fatigue or too much stress can also cause irregular menstruation. Generally, the symptoms can be greatly improved after self-adjustment. If the irregular menstruation lasts for a long time, you need to seek medical treatment in time.

If a woman's menstrual period continues, the most common reason is that she may have some gynecological diseases, such as endometritis, multifunctional abnormal uterine bleeding, etc. In addition, some may be caused by blood diseases, which should be taken more seriously. For example, low platelet count, hemophilia, etc. In addition, if menstrual bleeding lasts too long and is not treated in time, anemia or even infection may occur.

Female friends should understand their own bodies and pay more attention to their bodies. You should be familiar with your menstrual cycle and check whether it is regular and whether you feel any discomfort, stomachache, dizziness, general weakness, or even loss of appetite and vomiting during your menstrual period. This kind of disease should be taken seriously as soon as possible. If it lasts more than 20 days, you must pay attention to it and go to a reliable hospital's gynecology department for examination immediately.

Women's bodies bear too much pressure, so women should pay more attention to their bodies when menarche begins. They should not catch cold during menstruation, eat spicy food, or overwork.
