Causes of menopausal uterine bleeding

Menopause is a special stage. Women in this stage are most likely to have physical problems. Generally, women in menopause will become more irritable. What is more serious is that many women will have uterine bleeding. The uterus is a very important place for women. Once bleeding occurs, the situation becomes more difficult. The following is a detailed introduction to the causes of uterine bleeding in menopausal women.

Menstrual disorders during menopause are usually caused by changes in ovarian function and are a manifestation of menopausal syndrome, so they are called functional uterine bleeding. Since menstrual disorders and increased menstrual flow can cause mental depression, anemia, and aggravate menopausal symptoms, active treatment is necessary.

The first thing to do for functional uterine bleeding that occurs during menopause is to stop the bleeding. The best way to stop bleeding is curettage, which can cure most patients. In addition, curettage can examine the endometrium and rule out malignant lesions of the endometrium. In addition to the use of hemostatic drugs such as vitamin K and Yunnan Baiyao, male hormones can also be used in drug treatment, such as oral methyltestosterone or intramuscular injection of testosterone propionate, which can not only reduce bleeding but also improve mental symptoms. However, the dosage should not be too large and must be used under the guidance of a doctor. Patients who have already developed anemia can take Chinese medicine to replenish blood while stopping bleeding.

The most common symptom of menopausal functional uterine bleeding is irregular uterine bleeding, which is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, varying lengths of menstrual periods, and varying amounts of bleeding. Sometimes a small amount of bleeding lasts for several months, and sometimes heavy bleeding, leading to anemia or even shock. Some patients first experience amenorrhea for several weeks or months, and then experience irregular vaginal bleeding, which is often heavy and lasts for 2 to 3 weeks or longer and is difficult to stop on its own. Gynecological examination showed that the uterus was normal in size.

There are some related signs before menopausal uterine bleeding occurs. Women in menopause need to pay more attention to their physical condition. If the uterine bleeding is not serious, it can be recovered quickly. Women must check their bodies regularly and receive relevant treatment in time if there is a problem.
