Why does menstruation last for more than ten days?

Women will have different feelings during menstruation, and dysmenorrhea is a very distressing one. Some women even have pain that affects their normal work and life, but after a few days, they will return to normal. The length of the menstrual period varies from person to person, but why does menstruation last for more than ten days? This is a relatively important issue. You must go to the hospital for examination in time to rule out the occurrence of malignant diseases.

Menstruation has been coming for more than ten days

Female friends will always have a few days of inconvenience, discomfort, low mood, irritation, and want to lose their temper every month. There is no doubt that the old friend of female friends is coming, menstruation. Generally speaking, if female friends are not unwell, menstruation will come and go on time. However, some female friends' menstruation will not have the general regularity, and it may be early or late. This can be understood as a normal phenomenon. Don't worry too much about it. It may be that the diet or work and rest are irregular this month. It will slowly return to normal. However, some female friends' menstruation will not stop for a long time in a certain month. The menstruation has come for more than ten days and has not stopped. This is a bad phenomenon. It is best to see a doctor in time. If menstruation has not stopped for more than ten days, it is a typical menstrual disorder and requires timely treatment. If menstruation does not stop for a long time, it will cause a certain degree of anemia in the female body, which means that the body is "detoxifying" too much and our normal blood is also discharged. If this happens, I personally recommend seeking medical attention immediately. Generally speaking, I recommend that female friends go to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital for a check-up. After all, female friends' menstruation still needs some mild medicines to regulate, and it is best not to use overly irritating medicines.

Traditional Chinese medicine is also very effective. During the period of taking the medicine, you must take it according to the doctor's instructions. Do not take it in excess or in small amounts, as this will reduce the treatment effect. During the menstrual treatment period, do not have sex before the menstruation has completely stopped. Sexual intercourse will also cause pressure on the menstruation. Do not eat spicy food or overly cold food. Eat more mild food and drink more porridge and other foods.

The dangers of long menstrual cycles

1. Long cycle and prone to infection

Women have long menstrual cycles, and the vagina is stimulated by menstrual blood for a long time, which can cause inflammation and infection, and easily lead to vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease and other diseases. Patients are advised to pay attention to personal hygiene and change underwear and sanitary napkins frequently.

2. Long bleeding time can easily lead to anemia

If a woman has a long menstrual cycle, the time of menstrual blood flow will also be prolonged. Especially for women who have a menstrual cycle of more than half a month, they are likely to have anemia. It is recommended that patients supplement their nutrition and eat more blood-enriching foods such as red dates and longan.

3. Uterine fibroids are prone to occur

If a woman suffers from uterine fibroids, she is prone to symptoms of increased bleeding. It is recommended that patients check for uterine fibroids. If the fibroids are larger than 5cm, surgical treatment is required to prevent other complications.

A long menstrual cycle is indeed an abnormal phenomenon and needs treatment, especially some pathological long menstrual cycles should be taken seriously. There are many harms to the body. If not treated in time, it is easy to cause other physical diseases. Regardless of whether the menstrual cycle is long or short, it is considered irregular menstruation.
