What are the reasons for prolonged menstrual period in women?

Every woman has menstruation every month. People with normal menstruation have vigorous metabolism and are not prone to aging. However, some women sometimes have problems with irregular menstruation, or they may suffer from gynecological diseases. The most typical reason for a woman's prolonged menstrual period is that she has a prolonged menstrual period. Do you know what the reasons are for a woman's prolonged menstrual period? Let's take a look at them below.

Generally speaking, there are several reasons why women have prolonged menstruation:

(1) Dysfunctional uterine bleeding, such as anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding and irregular endometrial shedding, are both caused by endocrine dysfunction and lead to prolonged menstruation.

(2) Chronic uterine hypertrophy (myometritis) is caused by pelvic congestion and continuous increase in ovarian estrogen, which causes thickening of the uterine muscle layer, resulting in excessive menstruation and prolonged menstruation.

(3) The placement of an IUD can also cause prolonged menstruation.

(4) Pelvic inflammation, intrauterine polyps, endometritis, etc. are all caused by poor intrauterine blood circulation, degeneration and necrosis, or pelvic congestion, which lead to menorrhagia and prolonged menstruation.

(5) What are the causes of prolonged menstruation? Endometriosis often causes menorrhagia or prolonged menstruation due to affecting the contraction of the uterine muscle layer or due to endometrial enhancement.

(6) Uterine fibroids, especially submucosal fibroids, can cause menorrhagia and prolonged menstruation due to the expansion of the uterine cavity and abnormal contraction.

(7) Blood diseases such as thrombocytopenic purpura and aplastic anemia are often accompanied by menstruation. If severe uterine bleeding occurs, the menstrual period will be prolonged. Other conditions such as chronic anemia, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, nephritis, etc. can make the blood vessel walls fragile, increase permeability and cause bleeding.

Every woman will feel particularly haggard and troubled when she bleeds every month, so she should pay attention to protecting herself. Not only should she keep warm, but she should also pay attention to the above situations. If these situations occur, she should discover them in time and seek treatment in time. This will allow for more effective and faster treatment and prevent these diseases from harming our bodies.
