What is the reason for the sudden increase in menstrual flow?

Menstruation is a unique physiological phenomenon and one of the fundamental differences between women and men. Menstruation is caused by the shedding of the endometrium, and the amount of bleeding varies depending on the woman's physical condition. However, women during menstruation will be affected by various adverse factors, which will cause great damage to women's health. Among them, what is the reason for the sudden increase in menstrual volume? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

A sudden increase in menstrual flow may be due to an organic disease that causes increased bleeding, such as endometrial polyps, submucosal fibroids, endometrial hyperplasia and other diseases. At the same time, there may also be increased leucorrhea, lower abdominal pain, back pain, etc. Inflammation of the reproductive tract, such as vaginitis, cervicitis and other inflammatory diseases, can also affect menstruation, resulting in increased menstrual flow or prolonged menstrual period. In addition, mental stimulation, excessive dieting leading to malnutrition, endocrine disorders, chronic diseases, etc. may also lead to irregular menstruation and increased menstrual flow. Therefore, if you encounter a sudden increase in menstrual flow or a prolonged menstrual period, you should go to the hospital for examination in time, find out the cause, and receive timely treatment.

During adolescence, menstruation begins. The estrogen secreted by the ovaries causes the endometrium to shed, resulting in menstruation, but ovulation cannot occur yet. Therefore, menstruation is often irregular. It usually takes several years to form a cyclical, regular ovulation before menstruation becomes regular.

If a woman suddenly experiences an increase in menstrual flow during her menstrual period and the color is bright red, but it does not exceed twice the normal menstrual flow. At this time, you should try to rest in bed, eat a light and nutritious diet, and observe the increase in menstrual flow. If your menstrual flow returns to normal after a day, no further treatment is needed. If the menstrual volume continues to increase and is more than twice the normal amount, you need to go to the hospital's gynecology department for a color ultrasound examination and also have a routine blood test to see the specific hemoglobin level. If it is confirmed that the condition is simply increased menstrual volume, Gongxuening and caffeic acid tablets can be taken for symptomatic hemostatic treatment.
