Picture of menstrual bleeding

Many women call their monthly menstrual period "menstruation". When it comes to menstruation, many women have mixed feelings about it. If the menstrual period does not come on time, women will worry whether their endocrine system is out of balance, whether the menstrual flow is too much or too little, and women will also worry whether there is a problem with the uterus?

In fact, under normal circumstances, a woman's menstrual cycle should be around 28-35 days, and the monthly flow is about 20-70ml. Some women find that they suddenly have internal bleeding in their bodies during their period, and the menstrual flow is very heavy. What is the reason for this? Will bleeding during menstruation affect physical and mental health? Why not find out together.

Will bleeding during women's menstrual period affect their physical and mental health?

Female friends can pay attention to observe when they have their periods. Generally speaking, the total flow of women's menstrual period will show a downward trend. The total flow will be relatively large in the first 2-3 days, and sanitary napkins need to be changed frequently. However, in the next few days, the total flow will decrease significantly, and only sanitary napkins need to be used. If a woman's total flow during her menstrual period exceeds 80ml, this is called menorrhagia.

When women often experience excessive menstruation, the body may suffer from anemia. Over time, many people will also experience pale lips, blood deficiency, dizziness, etc., which have a great impact on women's reproductive health. So why do women experience bleeding during their menstrual period?

What is the cause of heavy menstrual flow in women?

Impairment of blood clotting

During women's menstrual period, the uterine wall will fall off and menstruation will occur. Generally, women's blood coagulation will decrease during menstruation, which can make it easier to expel blood clots in the uterus. Therefore, generally speaking, women should not have tooth extraction, blood donation, earrings and other activities during menstruation to avoid delayed wound healing. However, when a woman's blood coagulation is impaired and the body lacks coagulation factors, it is very easy for women to have excessive menstrual flow. Generally, going to the hospital to check the blood composition can determine whether it is caused by blood coagulation abnormalities.

Abnormal uterine position

When women reach a certain age, the female hormones in their bodies will fluctuate greatly. When there is too much estrogen in a woman's body, the position of the uterus may become abnormal. When a woman has uterine fibroids, her menstrual flow will increase. In addition, when a woman has endometriosis, her menstrual flow will increase, and she will also experience abdominal pain, back pain, etc. The menstrual pain will disappear with the end of the menstrual period, so everyone should pay more attention to it in daily life.

Contraceptive ring in the body

After marriage, many women usually choose to put an IUD in their body to assist with birth control. However, for some women, the body cannot adapt well to the contraceptive ring. Over time, the contraceptive ring may have a certain impact on the uterus, causing abnormal uterine wall shedding and increased menstrual flow. Therefore, if women with contraceptive rings find that their menstrual flow has suddenly increased, they can choose to remove the contraceptive ring.

Ectopic pregnancy

Under normal circumstances, after a woman becomes pregnant, the sperm and egg should begin to develop in the uterus. At this time, the woman's body will not have menstruation for a long time. However, if the sperm and egg combine in the wrong place and accidentally grow outside the uterus, this situation is called ectopic pregnancy in medicine. When the ectopic pregnancy develops to a certain extent, women may experience a sudden increase in menstrual flow, dizziness, sweating, etc. At this time, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible.

When a woman's body experiences increased menstrual flow for a long time, the body may suffer from anemia, malnutrition and other conditions. Women should pay more attention to observing changes in their body during their menstrual period and seek medical attention as soon as possible if any abnormalities are found, so as to better protect the health of the uterus.
