What is the reason for long menstrual period and heavy menstrual flow?

Women have their menstrual period every month, so they should protect themselves well during this period. If they experience symptoms of irregular menstruation, such as a period that is too long or too short, they should seek timely treatment and pay attention. Generally, it is treated with Chinese medicine, but the specific treatment method can only be known after examination in a regular hospital. Menstrual irregularities, such as prolonged menstrual periods, are probably caused by the following reasons.

Cause 1: Blood disease.

The length of menstruation is related to the blood. If thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, chronic hepatitis, nephritis, chronic anemia or other diseases occur during the menstrual period, the menstruation will be too long.

Cause 2: Abuse of antibiotics.

However, the large-scale use of antibiotics is harmful to women and can cause menstrual disorders in women, such as amenorrhea due to anovulation or prolonged menstruation.

Cause three: Not keeping warm during menstruation.

Especially young girls do not keep warm during menstruation. In order to show off their beautiful body shape, they wear too thin clothes in the winter. Some even eat cold foods such as ice cream during menstruation.

Cause 4: Failure to maintain proper hygiene during menstruation.

Just like not changing sanitary napkins for a long time, not changing underwear frequently, and not paying attention to one's own private hygiene, this will lead to bacterial infection in the female genitals.

Cause 5: Gynecological diseases.

If diseases such as gynecological inflammation occur, it will also cause prolonged menstruation. In severe cases, bloody leucorrhea or increased secretions may occur.

Cause six: bad eating habits.

During the menstrual period, women's resistance will be lower than normal. If they do not pay attention to their diet, often eat spicy and sour food, smoke, and drink alcohol, it will cause severe stimulation to the uterus and cause menstruation to last too long.

In addition to the above causes, the mood during menstruation will also affect the length of the menstrual period, so you must maintain a positive and optimistic attitude. Don't have too many negative emotions. You can cultivate some interests and hobbies to vent your negative emotions. Breathing fresh air frequently and walking outdoors more often are beneficial to menstrual health.
