Can heavy menstrual flow cause anemia?

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. Every woman has menstruation every month. Every woman's physical condition is different, and the amount of menstruation is usually different. Some women have heavier menstrual flow and worry that if it continues for a long time, it will lead to anemia. Although anemia is not a serious disease, the harm it brings to human health is very great and needs to be taken seriously.

Can heavy menstrual flow cause anemia?

Normal menstrual volume is 30~50ml, and more than 80ml is considered menorrhagia. Many women may not realize that their menstrual bleeding exceeds normal, but they have already developed secondary anemia. Excessive menstrual bleeding in women is a common cause of iron deficiency. Anemia affects the functional status of organs throughout the body. The absorption function of the gastrointestinal mucosa is weakened due to anemia, which aggravates the gastrointestinal reaction of oral iron supplements. Therefore, therapeutic doses of oral iron supplements to correct anemia cannot achieve the ideal therapeutic effect. At the same time, severe anemia can aggravate the disorder of the neuroendocrine system and affect the patient's quality of life.

The Chinese medicine Ginseng Guipi Pill has the functions of nourishing qi and blood, nourishing the heart and calming the mind. It is a blood tonic medicine in Chinese medicine. When used in conjunction with iron supplements, it can regulate the functional state of organs, promote the absorption of iron supplements, and at the same time improve the decline in the patient's quality of life caused by anemia, achieving a perfect combination of Chinese and Western medicine treatment. The theoretical basis for the application of longan and egg recipe in dietary therapy is to strengthen nutritional therapy in the general treatment of anemia. The enhanced nutritional treatment for anemia is a high-iron and high-protein diet. Longan contains a large amount of iron, which together with the iron-rich egg yolk and protein in eggs provide the raw materials for synthesizing hemoglobin, and the iron in food is easily absorbed. This high-iron, high-protein diet plays an active auxiliary therapeutic role in correcting anemia. Our clinical research results also confirm the significant effectiveness of combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine with diet therapy in treating anemia. This method is simple and easy, and the therapeutic effect is obvious. For patients with preoperative anemia, using this method to correct anemia before surgery can not only save blood resources but also avoid the risk of blood transfusion, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Three abnormalities of menstruation indicate ischemia

Short time

Generally speaking, the menstrual period of a normal woman is 3-7 days, and the specific length of time varies. However, if the menstrual period is shorter, only less than 3 days, you should pay attention to whether there is an endocrine problem; a shorter menstrual period is mostly caused by endocrine disorders and insufficient estrogen secretion. Excessive estrogen secretion can easily lead to a slowdown in the body's circulation. If this continues for a long time, aging symptoms are likely to appear.

Heavy menstrual flow

The amount of menstrual flow for each woman is determined by her own physical condition, but it is generally between 10 and 100 milliliters. It is normal for each woman to change sanitary napkins 3 to 5 times a day. If the amount of menstrual blood is too much, the sanitary napkin or paper will become wet again soon after changing it, or even flow down the legs, which is abnormal. Excessive menstrual bleeding may be functional uterine bleeding caused by factors such as excessive mental stress, environmental changes, malnutrition, and metabolic disorders. Long-term excessive menstrual blood can cause anemia, and the cause should be identified and treated.

No fixed time

Irregular menstrual periods mean there is something wrong with your body's cycle. The normal female cycle is 28 days, and the cells will complete a cycle; however, the menstrual cycle is not fixed, which means that there is a problem with the cell regeneration cycle. A longer regeneration period can easily lead to dull skin and accelerated aging, while a shorter period can easily lead to qi deficiency and physical weakness, which can also easily lead to aging.
