How to treat prolonged menstrual period?

Menstruation is an issue that all women are concerned about. Except for pregnant women and women with amenorrhea, every woman will have menstruation on a relatively fixed date every month, and the menstruation usually lasts about 3 to 7 days. If the menstrual period lasts for more than a week each time, you should be careful about some gynecological problems. What should I do if my menstrual period lasts too long? Below I will introduce its treatment method.

Generally speaking, a woman's menstrual cycle is 28 to 32 days. A week earlier or later is considered normal. The length of the menstrual cycle varies from person to person. But if it goes beyond this scope, it needs to be taken seriously.

There are many reasons for long menstrual cycles, including genetic factors, endocrine problems, immune problems, psychoneurological factors, tumors, drug use, etc., which can all lead to infrequent menstruation. If the interval between menstrual cycles is often 35 days or more, it is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant examinations to identify the possible causes and treat the causes to achieve better results. Of course, if menstruation is delayed only 1 to 2 times and there are no other abnormalities, this does not fall into the category of menstrual disorders and there is no need to worry.

In addition, when a girl has her first menstruation, her ovaries are in the development stage and their functions are not yet perfect, so they will experience functional disorders and irregularities, causing abnormal menstrual cycles; perimenopausal women may also experience delayed menstrual cycles, which is due to the gradual decline of ovarian function, leading to hormone secretion disorders. Both of these situations are normal and nothing to worry about.

Women don’t need to be overly nervous if their menstrual cycle is too long. This is one of the common symptoms of irregular menstruation in women, and the causes are relatively complicated: mainly dysfunctional uterine bleeding, polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure, or uterine adhesions after abortion or heavy blood loss and other diseases.

The above are the treatment methods for women with prolonged menstrual periods. There are many reasons for prolonged menstrual periods, which may be due to disease factors or may be affected by emotions. Moreover, every woman's physique is different, so the length of the menstrual cycle is also different. The editor recommends that women adjust their diet, mental state, exercise, and detoxification. If the situation is serious, seek medical attention immediately.
