What is the reason for heavy menstruation?

I believe that many female friends will make special note of their menstrual time every month. When some friends find that their menstrual flow is particularly heavy in a certain month, they will be full of doubts in their hearts. Why is this so? Will it have any impact? So if your menstrual period is particularly heavy, you must pay attention to understand the cause. So, what is the reason for heavy menstruation?

Infect

Inflammation of the reproductive organs is another common cause of abnormal vaginal bleeding. We all know that the female reproductive organ is not completely enclosed. The semi-open channel between it and the outside world gives it the opportunity to be invaded by various pathogenic factors from the outside world.

When you are in a situation where your own defense function is reduced due to anxiety, tension, fatigue, etc., various pathogenic factors may take advantage of the situation and invade, leading to the occurrence of the above-mentioned inflammations, making local blood vessels fragile, and bleeding during menstruation difficult to stop, often causing increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation. If you have been in poor overall health recently, with heavy vaginal bleeding accompanied by lower abdominal or lower back pain, increased vaginal discharge, abnormal color or odor, fever, frequent and painful urination, you should consider a reproductive organ infection.

Countermeasures: The universal remedy for all kinds of infections is to get enough rest, drink enough water and eat a light diet, so that mild infections can get better on their own; otherwise, you need to see a doctor in time to choose effective antibiotics for treatment.

Miscarriage or abnormal pregnancy

Abnormal vaginal bleeding in mature women is sometimes related to pregnancy complications. If your period is usually very regular, but is late for more than a week or ten days for no reason, and then flows continuously like a floodgate has been opened, with more blood clots or tissue than usual, and lasts longer than usual. Then, this is most likely a minor miscarriage. Similar events occur more often after induced abortion (whether surgical or medical), especially after medical abortion, there is a 5% to 10% chance of failed or incomplete abortion. In addition, if vaginal bleeding increases and is accompanied by palpitations, dizziness, cold sweats, abdominal pain, or even fainting, it may be a sign of ectopic pregnancy.

Countermeasure: The simplest self-test method is to take a pregnancy test: by checking the morning urine, you can get a rough estimate of the situation. But this method is not completely reliable. Sometimes, hormone levels have dropped before miscarriage occurs, resulting in negative results. If your vaginal bleeding increases too much and too quickly in a short period of time, or if the bleeding lasts too long, or if you experience other uncomfortable symptoms at the same time, you should contact your doctor immediately.

The above introduces the causes and related countermeasures of heavy menstruation. Therefore, when a female friend has a particularly heavy menstrual flow, she must be vigilant, because this is also a symptom of her physical condition. Therefore, for the sake of their own health, female friends must pay attention to checking their bodies.
