What are the dangers of reverse menstruation?

Women's menstrual periods have a certain regularity. During each period, the wall of the uterus will fall off, so there will be a lot of bleeding during the period. However, many female friends will experience retrograde menstruation, which is an abnormal menstrual phenomenon. Generally, after retrograde menstruation occurs, the amount of menstrual blood in women will decrease a lot, so this situation will cause a lot of harm to women's bodies. Let’s look at the dangers of reverse menstruation.

Generally speaking, the amount of bleeding during retrograde menstruation will not be too much and will never exceed the normal menstrual volume. It will not cause much impact on your health and there is no need to be afraid. Mild cases may not require treatment, because retrograde menstruation does not necessarily occur throughout life, and sometimes it can disappear on its own without treatment. When a young girl has heavy retrograde bleeding, she should put aside her psychological concerns and go to the hospital to see an ENT doctor for diagnosis and treatment. If no nasal deformity or other symptoms are found, local bleeding can be stopped by nasal drops (such as anesthetic) or local compression can be applied to stop the bleeding. You can also take hemostatic agents such as Anluoxue and vitamin K4 orally under the guidance of a doctor. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that retrograde menstruation is caused by factors such as blood heat and unfavorable Qi movement. In traditional Chinese medicine, 15 grams each of lotus root nodes and white hyacinth is boiled into a soup and taken all at once, which can temporarily stop bleeding. In addition, you can also stop the bleeding by tying the second joint of the middle finger on the opposite side of the bleeding nostril with a thin thread and raising that hand. After the bleeding stops, patients with severe conditions should go to the hospital for radical treatment about 20 days before the next menstruation.

During the menstrual period, bleeding occurs in areas other than the uterus, such as the nasal mucosa, stomach, intestines, lungs, and breasts. This is called retrograde menstruation, also known as "compensatory menstruation" and "cyclical extrauterine bleeding." At this time, the menstrual flow is small or even absent, and the amount of nosebleed or vomiting blood may be more or less. It is often accompanied by symptoms such as general discomfort, lack of energy, irritability, and lower abdominal pain.

Eat more vitamin-rich foods, such as fruits and fresh vegetables, or take vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin C and other medicines to enhance the resistance of blood vessels.

Clinically, it is found that girls with "reverse menstruation" often recover without treatment as they grow older. If compensatory menstruation only occurs 1-2 times and is not serious, no treatment is required. It will heal itself later.

But it is best to go to a regular hospital for a check-up to find out the cause so that you can find a suitable treatment plan! So as not to delay the best time for treatment.
