Reasons for prolonged menstrual period in women

1. Blood diseases such as thrombocytopenic purpura and aplastic anemia are often accompanied by menstruation. If severe uterine bleeding occurs, the menstrual period will be prolonged. Other conditions such as chronic anemia, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, nephritis, etc. can make the blood vessel walls fragile, increase permeability and cause bleeding.

2. Chronic uterine hypertrophy (myometritis) is caused by pelvic congestion and continuous increase in ovarian estrogen, which leads to thickening of the uterine muscle layer, causing menorrhagia and prolonged menstruation.

3. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding, such as anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding and irregular endometrial shedding, are all caused by endocrine dysfunction and lead to prolonged menstruation.

4. Uterine fibroids, especially submucosal fibroids, can cause menorrhagia and prolonged menstruation due to abnormal contraction due to the expansion of the uterine cavity area.

5. Insertion of an IUD can easily cause prolonged menstruation.

6. Endometriosis often causes menorrhagia or prolonged menstruation due to affecting the contraction of the uterine muscle layer or due to enhancement of the endometrium.

7. Pelvic inflammation, intrauterine polyps, endometritis, etc. are all caused by poor intrauterine blood circulation, degeneration and necrosis, or pelvic congestion, which lead to excessive menstruation and prolonged menstruation.

In short, prolonged menstruation is caused by systemic diseases and many gynecological diseases. If you have a problem with prolonged menstruation, please see a doctor in time, find out the cause, and then receive treatment.
