What to do if your menstrual flow is heavy during menopause

Female menopause refers to the whole process of women transitioning from their best childbearing age to the elderly stage. Many women in menopause may experience emotional instability and other conditions. Faced with the continuous passage of their own years, I believe that many women are very upset about this. During menopause, many women may experience prolonged menstrual periods. So, what should women do if their menopause causes long periods and heavy menstrual flow?

What should women do if their menopause causes long menstrual periods and heavy menstrual flow?

After women enter menopause, their ovaries begin to decline and menstrual disorders often occur. This is a natural process and will eventually end with menopause. Menstrual disorders can be roughly divided into three types: one is that the menstrual intervals are long, the menstrual period is short, the menstrual flow is small, and then the menstruation gradually stops. The second is irregular menstruation, continuous spotting, and gradually decreasing until menstruation stops, or prolonged menstruation, heavy menstrual flow, and even vaginal bleeding. The third is sudden cessation of menstruation. Menopause is one of the key indicators of women entering menopause.

For menopausal women, if their menstruation is only delayed, the amount of menstruation is small, and it stops gradually, generally no treatment is required. If you have spotty menstruation for several months or the amount of menstrual flow is too heavy, it is abnormal uterine bleeding due to imbalanced menopausal function, and you should go to the hospital immediately.

What should be reminded most is that reproductive system infections (endometritis, uterine wall tuberculosis), cervical polyps, submucosal uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, uterine body cancer, ovarian tumors (theca cell tumor or granulosa cell tumor), and some systemic diseases, such as coagulation disorders (refractory thrombocytopenic purpura, sepsis, aplastic anemia), hypertension, abnormal thyroid hormone, etc., can all cause non-menstrual bleeding in the vagina, which can easily be confused with menopausal menstrual disorders.

Therefore, women with menstrual disorders during menopause should seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid affecting the early diagnosis and early treatment of some diseases. Even if it does not belong to other diseases, it is also possible to promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation as soon as possible to avoid excessive blood loss and affect physical and mental health.
