What is the reason for prolonged menstrual period?

Many women often have some irregular menstruation in their daily lives. In fact, there are many reasons for irregular menstruation in women. Most people do not pay attention to their daily lives, have some problems with their daily routines, or have too much stress in life and are emotionally nervous, which can also lead to irregular menstruation and prolonged menstruation. What should we do?

The reasons for prolonged menstruation are probably as follows: (1) Spleen deficiency and failure to control blood: The spleen is weak and the qi is weak, or fatigue damages the spleen, which further weakens the spleen and fails to control blood, resulting in Chong and Ren meridians being unstable and menstrual bleeding continuing after it comes. (2) Kidney Qi is not solid: Kidney Qi is deficient due to the constitution, or due to excessive sexual intercourse and childbirth, which damages the kidney Qi and causes the kidney to lose its sealing function, resulting in poor retention and prolonged menstruation. (3) Yin deficiency and internal heat: Yin deficiency due to the constitution, or irregular sexual intercourse, or too many pregnancies or childbirths, or long-term illness or serious illness that depletes Yin essence. Yin deficiency generates internal heat, which disturbs the Chong and Ren meridians, resulting in continuous menstrual flow. (4) Damp-heat invasion: Excessive damp-heat in the body, or sexual intercourse during menstruation, or irregular daily routines, can cause damp-heat to invade the uterus and blood, forcing the blood to flow, resulting in prolonged menstruation. (5) Blood stasis blocking the meridians: There is old blood stasis in the body, or during the period of menstruation and childbirth, the blood chambers are just opening, and the remaining blood has not been drained out. In addition, the body is affected by cold evil, and the blood is coagulated by the cold, forming blood stasis. The blood stasis blocks the meridians, and the blood cannot return to the menstruation, resulting in a prolonged menstrual period.

Folk remedies for prolonged menstruation: ① 12 grams each of Ligustrum lucidum, Eclipta prostrata, and Rehmannia glutinosa, and 10 grams of Rubia cordifolia (suitable for those with yin deficiency and blood heat). ② 10g each of Phellodendron chinense and Atractylodes lancea, 20g of Coix seeds, and 12g of Platycladus orientalis leaves (suitable for those with damp-heat). ③ 1g of Panax notoginseng powder, taken with water (suitable for those with blood stasis). ④ 18 grams of Astragalus, 12 grams of Codonopsis, 10 grams each of fried Cimicifuga and Schizonepeta, and 6 grams of Cyperus rotundus (suitable for those with spleen deficiency and loss of control).

If you often have irregular menstruation, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a more detailed gynecological examination in time. It is very likely that you have some gynecological diseases, which lead to these phenomena. If you do not treat it in time, not only will the gynecological diseases become more and more serious, but these symptoms will also be incurable.
