Causes of prolonged menstrual bleeding

In China, people are always secretive about women's physiological problems, which is related to the influence of conservative thinking in our country. However, this does not mean that we do not attach importance to this issue. Especially for physiological phenomena like menstruation, we cannot be too shy to avoid seeing a doctor. Many times, only when we speak out can the doctor give you a correct diagnosis of the condition. Just like endless menstruation, this matter must be spoken out as soon as possible and a solution must be sought as soon as possible.

Prolonged menstruation is called hemorrhage by doctors. Excessive menstrual flow that cannot be stopped for a long time can easily lead to excessive blood loss. In severe cases, excessive blood loss can lead to shock. Therefore, once you find that your menstrual period is not stopping, you must seek a solution, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

There are six common reasons for prolonged menstrual bleeding:

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.
