Why is my menstruation increasing?

There are many reasons for irregular menstruation in female friends, among which endocrine imbalance and not paying attention to daily life can also cause irregular menstruation. Many people don’t know why their menstrual periods are getting longer and longer. Now I will share it with you.

What is the reason for more and more menstrual periods?

Reason 1: Menstruation becomes more and more frequent because of physical weakness, sinking of middle qi, fatigue in diet, and long-term illness that damages the spleen, resulting in spleen deficiency, weak qi, and water qi and blood loss.

Reason 2: The increasing menstrual volume may be due to the adjustment of the hypothalamic-pituitary-uterine-ovarian axis, resulting in regular changes. The fallen uterine wall mixes with the blood to form menstruation. If a large amount of endometrium falls off and there are blood clots, it is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if the uterine wall is infected, there will be increased bleeding, abdominal pain, etc.

Reason three: The increasing amount of menstrual flow may be caused by long-term blood stasis, blood accumulation after childbirth, and inability of new blood to return. Therefore, you must go to the hospital immediately.
