The normal menstrual period for girls is only three or four days, but for some girls, the menstrual period lasts for about a week, with continuous bleeding, which brings a great mental burden and psychological pressure to the patients. The main reasons for prolonged menstrual period are spleen and kidney deficiency, Chong and Ren meridians are not solid, or there is too much blood stasis. In this case, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Let’s discuss in detail the reasons why menstrual periods are too long. If the menstrual period lasts for more than 7 days, or even lasts for half a month, and the menstrual flow is not much, or is slightly more than normal, it is called "prolonged menstruation". Prolonged menstruation should be distinguished from menorrhagia and metrorrhagia, but prolonged menstruation can also cause metrorrhagia. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that prolonged menstruation is mainly due to spleen and kidney deficiency, Chong and Ren meridians being weak, or blood heat forcing blood to flow abnormally; or blood stasis preventing new blood from returning to the meridians. There are probably the following reasons for prolonged menstruation: spleen deficiency and weak qi, or fatigue damaging the spleen, which further depletes the spleen qi and causes failure to retain blood, resulting in the Chong and Ren meridians being unstable and continuous menstrual bleeding after it comes. Kidney deficiency or excessive sexual intercourse and childbirth can damage the kidney qi, causing the kidney to lose its sealing and storage function, and the menstrual period to be too prolonged. Yin deficiency in the body, or irregular sexual intercourse, or too many pregnancies and childbirths, or damage to Yin essence after a long or serious illness. Yin deficiency generates internal heat, which disturbs the Chong and Ren meridians, resulting in continuous menstrual flow. There is old blood stasis in the body, or during the period of menstruation and childbirth, the blood chamber is opening and the remaining blood has not been completely drained, and the cold evil causes the blood to coagulate due to the cold, forming blood stasis. The blood stasis blocks the uterine vessels, and the blood does not return to the menstruation, resulting in a prolonged menstrual period. It is still recommended to go to a regular hospital for treatment, but here are some prescriptions you can try: 30 grams each of astragalus and ginseng, and 1 raw chicken, cut into pieces. Eat after cooking, or add 15 grams each of angelica and chuanxiong, 10 grams of safflower, and 500 ml of rice wine. After boiling for several times, filter out the residue and take 30 ml each time, twice a day. If the menstrual period lasts too long, it will cause girls to suffer certain pain. Therefore, you must pay attention to rest at this time, do not do strenuous exercise during the menstrual period, drink more water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and remember not to stay up late. It is best to go to bed before 10 o'clock at night. If you persist in this way for a period of time, the symptoms of long menstrual periods will definitely be improved. |
