What is the reason for long-term menstruation?

Menstruation is a relatively normal physiological phenomenon for women, but it is easy to have abnormal conditions and can reflect women's health status. A typical example of menstrual abnormality is prolonged menstruation, which makes women very worried and they don’t know the cause. So, what is the reason for unclean menstruation for a long time? Let’s take a look at the reasons why unclean menstruation lasts for a long time.

1. Improper contraceptive methods: Sometimes abnormal vaginal bleeding may be related to the contraceptive method you use, such as the most common intrauterine ring, which improves contraceptive function while also causing problems such as excessive menstrual flow. Improper contraceptive methods can easily cause diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease and ectopic pregnancy, which seriously affect women's quality of life and health and safety, and need to be treated early.

2. Fatal ectopic pregnancy: If menstruation is delayed for no reason and then suddenly comes in large quantities, and is mixed with more blood clots or tissue than usual, and lasts longer than usual, then it is likely to be a small miscarriage. If accompanied by palpitations, dizziness, cold sweats, abdominal pain or even fainting, it may be a sign of ectopic pregnancy. If you find this situation, you must seek medical attention immediately and do not delay. You should know that ectopic pregnancy can be life-threatening.

3. Coagulation disorder: Since menstruation, like other bleeding phenomena in the human body, is regulated by the body's own coagulation system, if the coagulation system is abnormal, for example, hemophilia patients who are born with a lack of certain coagulation factors, will have blood that is not easy to coagulate, resulting in heavy menstrual flow and prolonged bleeding. Excessive menstruation is sometimes the only symptom of female hemophilia patients. Other common blood diseases such as thrombocytopenic purpura, leukemia, aplastic anemia, etc., can also easily affect the coagulation system and increase menstrual flow. It can be said to be a disease that poses a great threat to life.

4. Tumor: The typical symptoms of women with uterine fibroids are menorrhagia and secondary anemia. The first symptom of cervical cancer is bleeding after sexual intercourse, which is particularly prominent before and after menstruation and can sometimes even cause fatal heavy bleeding. If you find that your menstrual flow is heavy, don't take it lightly, as many diseases can be very dangerous.

The above is an introduction to the factors that cause prolonged and unclean menstruation. I hope it will be helpful to everyone’s understanding. There are many reasons for women's prolonged and unclean menstruation, including other diseases and serious diseases such as ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, when menstruation is not clean for a long time, it is necessary to actively seek treatment to avoid more serious consequences.
