Women's menstrual bleeding

Menstrual problems are a common problem among women nowadays. Many women, especially little girls, are taken to traditional Chinese medicine clinics by their parents to regulate their menstruation. There are many phenomena such as delayed or early menstruation, excessive or insufficient menstrual flow, which are all abnormal situations. If the menstrual flow is heavy or even prolonged, the cause must be found and treated accordingly. This article introduces the main causes and treatments of prolonged menstruation. Let’s take a look.

Causes of prolonged menstrual bleeding

If a woman's menstruation is normal, the cycle is 28-30 days, but it is normal for it to be 3 or 4 days early or late. For most people, menstruation lasts for 3-7 days and the amount of menstruation is normal. However, if due to various reasons the menstrual flow increases or the menstrual period is prolonged, these situations are considered to be prolonged menstruation.

1. The cause of women's prolonged menstruation may be caused by systemic diseases, such as leukemia, or by gynecological diseases, such as uterine fibroids.

2. For some women, it may be caused by problems with their reproductive organs, such as intrauterine devices or improper use of contraceptives, or genital trauma, which can easily lead to abnormal uterine bleeding. If some middle-aged women experience persistent bleeding, they should consider whether they have serious diseases such as cervical cancer and follicular cell carcinoma.

3. It is originally related to pregnancy and is often seen in miscarriage. Bleeding in late pregnancy is often caused by uterine rupture, which is often caused by multiple factors such as poor restoration of the placental attachment site and poor restoration of the uterus.

What to do if your menstrual period is not over

According to the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, Chinese medicine mainly treats four syndromes, namely kidney yang deficiency, kidney yin deficiency, spleen deficiency and blood stasis, according to different symptoms and signs.
