What is the reason for the menstrual period to be light and not clean?

Menstruation is a woman’s “best friend”, accompanying you from youth to old age. However, this “best friend” is a little naughty. Why is the menstrual period wet and unclean? Girls usually have their periods at the age of eleven or twelve. Due to different physical conditions, the time of their periods is different, and all the manifestations during their periods are also different. For example, some women will have unclean periods.

The menstrual period is continuous, or more technically, it is a long menstrual period.

The normal menstrual cycle of women is generally 3 to 7 days, but due to various reasons, some female friends will have a prolonged menstrual period (more than 10 days), or increased menstrual flow, and sometimes only a small amount of menstrual flow will occur during urination, which is called continuous menstruation.

Causes of prolonged menstrual bleeding

If the menstrual flow is too heavy and cannot be stopped for a long time, it can easily cause excessive blood loss and anemia. In severe cases, it can cause shock due to excessive blood loss. Therefore, once you find that your menstrual period is not completely stopped, you must find a way to deal with it, otherwise the adverse effects are unpredictable.

Gynecological diseases

Gynecological diseases, such as pelvic inflammation, endometrial inflammation, etc., are caused by poor blood circulation in the uterine cavity, atrophy and necrosis, or pelvic congestion, which lead to excessive menstruation and prolonged menstruation. Uterine fibroids, uterine intrauterine polyps, endometriosis, etc. are also key reasons for women's prolonged menstruation.

Uterine imbalance bleeding

Uterine dysfunction bleeding mainly refers to anovulatory uterine bleeding and irregular uterine wall shedding, both of which are caused by endocrine dysfunction and lead to prolonged menstruation.

Endocrine imbalance

Endocrine imbalance can also cause menstrual disorders, and one of the common symptoms of menstrual disorders is that the menstrual period is always clean. For example, girls in puberty may experience irregular menstruation due to endocrine instability.

Luteal insufficiency

Irregular menstruation is often associated with incomplete contraction of the corpus luteum and increased repair of the uterine wall. Luteal insufficiency will reduce the metabolism of estrogen. If menstruation is long, light, and dark in color, it is most likely caused by luteal insufficiency.

Incomplete medical abortion

Incomplete medication can easily lead to prolonged bleeding time, which can easily be mistaken by women as irregular menstruation. If a woman has undergone medical abortion, when the bleeding time exceeds 2 weeks, she should undergo B-ultrasound examination in time to check whether the medical abortion was clean and whether uterine curettage is needed.

Systemic diseases

Blood diseases, such as low platelet purpura and aplastic anemia, may cause irregular menstruation.

Intrauterine contraceptive ring

Due to individual differences, some women may not be suitable for the ring and may experience some rejection, such as irregular menstruation, increased menstrual flow, menstrual pain, etc.

What should I do if my menstrual period is always unclean?

First, go to the hospital for color Doppler ultrasound to find out the cause of irregular menstruation. B-ultrasound can check whether there are submucosal uterine fibroids, whether the patient is wearing an IUD, the location of the IUD, whether the endometrium is thick enough, whether there are any uterine polyps or other endometrial diseases. Further examination will also determine whether there is cervical cancer or precancerous lesions. If there is such a problem, it will cause unclean menstruation. This age group is prone to various diseases, so B-ultrasound, endocrine examinations, and cervical cancer screening must be done. If there is no organic problem, and the menstruation is not clean after 47 days, there is also a possibility that women are in menopause and some people will have irregular menstruation. In this case, you have to choose the medicine according to the situation and the thickness of the endometrium.

If the endometrium is thick, you can take medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. If the endometrium is thin, you can take medicine to regulate menstruation and stop bleeding. Therefore, if the menstruation is always irregular during the 47 days, you must do corresponding examinations to see if there are endocrine problems or tumor problems causing the irregular menstruation. Therefore, if the menstruation is always irregular during the 47 days, you must do corresponding examinations to see if there are endocrine problems or tumor problems causing the irregular menstruation. There are many reasons why menstruation is always irregular, and different reasons have different treatments. If a woman of childbearing age has sex, she should first rule out incomplete abortion or hydatidiform mole, as well as side effects of the IUD. In addition, uterine wall diseases, uterine fibroids, uterine ovarian tumors, and cervical cancer can all cause excessive vaginal bleeding. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination and six hormone tests. If the vaginal bleeding is ruled out as caused by pregnancy and organic uterine diseases, it is recommended to do a hysteroscopy to obtain endometrial tissue for pathophysiological examination, and then regulate menstruation with medication.
