What is the reason for prolonged menstruation?

1. Endometriosis: The occurrence of endometriosis will affect the contraction of the uterine myometrium or the extension of the endometrium. The extension of the uterine wall will increase the shedding time of the endometrium, resulting in excessive menstrual cycles or prolonged menstruation.

2. Placement of an IUD: When an IUD is placed, the uterine wall is compressed by the ring, causing inflammatory infiltration of body cells and easily leading to prolonged menstruation.

3. Uterine leiomyoma: especially uterine and cervical leiomyoma. This is due to the expansion of the total area of ​​the uterus, which causes abnormal uterine contractions and may cause excessive menstrual cycles and prolonged menstruation.

4. Uterine dysfunction bleeding: such as anovulatory uterine bleeding and irregular uterine wall shedding, are all caused by endocrine dysfunction problems that lead to prolonged menstrual cycle.

5. Chronic uterine hypertrophy: Due to pelvic congestion, the estrogen level of the uterus and ovaries continues to increase, causing hypertrophy of the uterine muscle layer and chronic uterine hypertrophy, resulting in excessive menstrual cycles and prolonged menstruation.

6. Blood diseases: such as thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, etc., are often accompanied by menstrual cramps. If there is severe uterine bleeding, it will cause prolonged menstruation. Other diseases such as chronic anemia, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, nephritis, etc. can make the blood vessel wall sensitive, increase the permeability and cause bleeding.

7. Others: Pelvic inflammation, intrauterine polyps, uterine inflammation, etc. are all caused by poor intrauterine blood circulation, necrosis or pelvic congestion, which lead to excessive menstrual cycles and prolonged menstruation.
