What is the reason for a long period?

There are many reasons for prolonged menstruation. When such a problem occurs, everyone must pay attention to it. In today's life, women often find that their menstrual period lasts longer than other times. At this time, they begin to suspect that they are sick. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up to find out the cause. So what is the reason for a long period of time?

There are six common reasons for prolonged menstrual periods:

First: Dysfunctional uterine bleeding. For example, anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding and irregular endometrial shedding both cause prolonged menstruation due to endocrine dysfunction.

Second: pelvic inflammatory disease. Pelvic inflammation, intrauterine polyps, endometritis, etc. are all caused by poor intrauterine blood circulation, degeneration and necrosis, or pelvic congestion, which lead to excessive menstruation and prolonged menstruation.

Third: uterine fibroids. Especially for submucosal uterine fibroids, due to the expansion of the uterine cavity area and abnormal contraction, it can cause menorrhagia and prolonged menstruation.

Fourth: chronic uterine hypertrophy. Due to pelvic congestion, ovarian estrogen continues to increase, causing thickening of the uterine muscle layer, resulting in excessive menstruation and prolonged menstruation.

Fifth: Endometriosis. It often causes menorrhagia or prolonged menstruation due to affecting the contraction of the uterine muscle layer or strengthening the endometrium.

Sixth: Dysfunctional uterine bleeding. For example, anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding and irregular endometrial shedding both cause prolonged menstruation due to endocrine dysfunction. Blood disease. Such as thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, etc., 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.

Through the above introduction, we already know that there are many reasons for long periods. When judging the reasons, everyone should also consider their own specific circumstances so that they can accurately find out the cause. At the same time, it is recommended that everyone avoid such symptoms in daily life, take care of your body, and take good care of yourself.
