Perimenopause and continuous menstruation

Perimenopause is usually a phenomenon that occurs as women age. Generally speaking, women in perimenopause will have less and less menstruation, and gradually develop amenorrhea. This is a normal phenomenon, but some women experience continuous menstruation during perimenopause. If this happens, you need to go to the hospital to see a doctor in time and take medication under the doctor's guidance.

What to do if your menstrual period is continuous during perimenopause?

During perimenopause, prolonged menstruation is generally the result of low hormone levels in the body and irregular shedding of the endometrium. However, the possibility of uterine fibroids and endometrial cancer is not ruled out. To be on the safe side, it is best for women to choose a regular hospital to complete six sex hormone tests, examinations of the uterus and its appendages. If necessary, they can undergo endometrial curettage and pathological research to screen for diseases one by one.

In addition to receiving appropriate treatment, women need to keep a good mood in their lives, eliminate tension and anxiety, pay attention to changing underwear frequently, keep the vulva clean and dry, and do regular check-ups.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the main reason for perimenopausal patients to have prolonged menstruation is irregular menstruation, which is closely related to qi and blood stasis, liver and kidney deficiency, and cold and dampness stagnation. Therefore, after discovering the condition, we can seek help from traditional Chinese medicine and use the principle of dialectical treatment under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. For patients with qi and blood stasis, we can use medicines such as Leonurus granules and Wuji Baifeng pills. For patients with cold and dampness stagnation, we can use Chinese medicines such as red peony root, salvia miltiorrhiza, and bupleurum to expel cold and dampness. This can effectively alleviate the condition and restore the patient's menstruation to normal.

If the phenomenon of prolonged menstruation during perimenopause is very serious and the condition still cannot be improved after treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, then we can use testosterone for treatment. This drug can effectively improve the abnormal hormone secretion phenomenon and is very helpful in regulating women's endocrine function. If drug treatment is ineffective, the patient can also choose uterine curettage to stop bleeding as soon as possible and avoid hemorrhagic anemia. At the same time, we must pay attention to adjusting our mentality and keep a calm mind during the perimenopausal period. We must also pay close attention to our physical condition and have regular physical examinations to try to avoid unexpected situations.

For the phenomenon of prolonged menstruation during perimenopause, we can use a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to treat it in order to improve the condition as quickly as possible and restore the patient's menstruation to normal. Perimenopause is a special period for women, so during this period, we must pay close attention to our physical condition and adjust our mentality to try to avoid accidents.
