How to get heavy menstrual flow

For some women, the amount of menstrual flow is very heavy every time they have their period. In fact, too much or too little menstrual flow is not good. Generally speaking, a normal menstrual volume of 60 ml per time is considered normal. So, what counts as heavy menstrual flow? In fact, women can pay attention to their menstrual period. If the menstrual volume exceeds 80 ml, it means that their menstrual volume is too much.

The amount of menstrual flow varies from woman to woman, generally ranging from 20 to 100 ml. It is normal to change sanitary napkins or paper 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.

Generally, 30 ml of menstrual volume is too little, and 80 ml is too much. The normal amount should be 60 ml each time. This requires us to pay attention to the amount of sanitary napkins we use, and not exceed two packs per cycle. If three packs of sanitary napkins are not enough each time and each sanitary napkin is soaked, it means that the menstrual flow is too heavy. On the contrary, if one pack is not used up every time, it means that the menstrual flow is too light and you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

Excessive menstrual flow is more common among adolescent girls. The main reason is that during puberty, the ovarian function is not yet fully mature, and part of the menstruation at this time is anovulatory. Without ovulation, there is no corpus luteum, and without a corpus luteum, there is a lack of progesterone. Therefore, the endometrium can only be in the proliferative phase and cannot reach the complete secretory phase, resulting in incomplete shedding of the endometrium, which affects the contraction of the uterus and causes excessive menstrual bleeding. If this situation is not paid attention to, over time, symptoms of anemia such as pale complexion, fatigue, and dizziness may appear, and medical treatment should be sought.

Heavy menstruation is mainly caused by excessive menstrual blood volume, which is more than 60ml.

Women with excessive menstrual flow often have obvious anemia. During and after their menstrual period, they often have symptoms such as palpitations, general weakness, back pain, leg pain, insomnia, and dreaminess. They are also prone to colds and fatigue. They can supplement iron appropriately in months with heavy menstrual flow to prevent the occurrence of anemia, or supplement iron through food.
