What causes prolonged menstruation?

Recently there is a topic that has attracted the attention of many women. If every woman has a period every month, why do some women have a long menstrual period? This issue is of great concern, especially for many school girls who don’t know anything about this. Menstruation is very important for every woman. It plays a vital role for the next generation. Therefore, women should learn more about this knowledge to avoid some harm. So why does the menstrual period last too long?

The reasons for prolonged menstruation may include:

(1) Spleen deficiency and failure to retain blood: The spleen is weak and the qi is weak, or fatigue damages the spleen, which further weakens the spleen and causes failure to retain blood, resulting in the Chong and Ren meridians being unstable and continuous menstrual bleeding.

(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.

Long menstrual cycle treatment

1. Women with normal menstrual cycle, but prolonged menstruation, heavy, light-colored, thin menstruation, and no other abnormal symptoms

Generally, there is no problem. It may be a type of qi deficiency caused by too much mental stress. You should adjust your mentality, pay attention to nutrition, pay attention to your living habits, do not excessively diet, indulge in smoking, drinking, and drug abuse, etc. Do not put too much pressure on yourself. Keeping calm is the best way.

2. Prolonged menstrual period, abnormal menstrual color, abdominal pain, itching, etc.

It is possible that it is related to pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, endocrine disorders, etc. You should seek professional hospital diagnosis and treatment. It is recommended to go to the hospital for B-ultrasound and hormone level examination to clarify the cause and treat the symptoms!

This is what happens when menstruation lasts too long. I hope many female friends will pay attention to this and accumulate knowledge in this regard. If any accidents happen, please contact a doctor or expert as soon as possible to take care of your body. Girls with similar situations should also pay attention to taking care of your body in time and should not be careless about this, especially women with weak bodies. I hope all girls have a good body.
