What does heavy menstrual blood mean?

Menstruation is a physiological cycle of natural animals, with an approximate cycle of about 28-35 days. The normal menstrual volume is about 20ML-80ML, which varies from person to person. However, if the menstrual volume is more than 80ml, it is considered as menorrhagia. There are many clinical reasons for excessive menstrual flow, the most common of which include sexual organ infection, uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc.

One of the causes of excessive menstruation in women is sexual organ infection. Sexual intercourse during menstruation or the use of unclean sanitary napkins, unclean sexual life, and multiple sexual partners are all likely to cause sexual organ infection, leading to vaginitis, cervicitis and other gynecological diseases. Due to the influence of gynecological diseases, the menstrual volume increases. Therefore, if vaginal bleeding suddenly increases and is accompanied by lower abdominal or lower back pain, excessive vaginal discharge, abnormal color, and odor, you should seek medical attention and treatment in time.

The second cause of excessive menstrual bleeding in women is polycystic ovary syndrome. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common disease of endocrine imbalance and metabolic abnormalities in marriage and childbearing. This disease can cause changes in the body's growth hormone, which in turn can cause women to experience symptoms such as irregular menstruation and increased menstrual flow. In addition, if PCOS causes delayed ovulation or anovulation, the uterine wall will continue to thicken and the menstrual volume will double.

The third cause of excessive menstrual period in women is uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are one of the most common gynecological tumors, mainly caused by the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells. The clinical symptoms of this disease include: heavy menstrual flow, functional uterine bleeding, excessive leucorrhea, infertility and miscarriage. In clinical medicine, menorrhagia is more commonly caused by intramuscular and submucosal uterine fibroids.

In addition to the reasons mentioned above, there are many other reasons that may cause excessive menstruation in women, such as taking anticoagulants, premenopause, and taking emergency contraceptives. Therefore, if you experience increased menstrual flow, it is a sign that your body has some disease, and you must go to a reliable designated medical institution for examination and diagnosis in time.
