Causes and treatment of prolonged menstruation

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon that every woman has to experience. If you don't have your period, then there must be a disease. Of course, it varies from person to person. Some people will experience irregular menstruation. I wonder if female friends know this knowledge. What is the reason if the menstruation time is too long? Have any female friends ever experienced this phenomenon? Let's see what the reason is.

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!

The above are the reasons why menstruation lasts too long. If you are always bleeding, you must go to the hospital for examination, as it may be a precursor to disease. Female friends generally have weaker constitutions, so they should pay more attention to their physical health during menstruation. They should not drink alcohol, eat raw, cold or irritating foods, and must keep warm, otherwise they will experience some discomfort symptoms.
