What is the reason for irregular menstruation?

Under normal circumstances, a woman's menstrual cycle is 28 to 30 days. Due to various reasons, a woman's menstruation may be advanced or delayed for a few days. This is a normal phenomenon. However, in life, women's menstruation may have various abnormalities. For example, some women may have prolonged menstruation. This is probably because the menstruation lasts too long. This is also a standard menstrual disorder. The main causes of this symptom are the following.

Reasons for prolonged menstrual bleeding:

1. Endocrine disorders

Endocrine disorders can cause irregular menstruation. The most common one is luteal insufficiency, which leads to a decrease in progesterone secretion. It is often manifested as prolonged menstruation, less menstrual volume, and darker color. It usually takes two or three days to develop into normal menstruation. It is not easy for women in this situation to get pregnant, and even if they do get pregnant, they are prone to miscarriage, so it is important to take it seriously.

2. Drug effects

Taking certain medications may also cause irregular menstruation, such as birth control pills, psychiatric drugs, etc., which will lead to irregular menstruation and symptoms of prolonged menstruation.

3. Gynecological diseases

Gynecological diseases are also one of the culprits that cause unclean menstruation. For example, vaginitis, cervicitis, uterine polyps, uterine fibroids, cervical erosion, endometritis, endometriosis, etc., are likely to cause irregular menstruation. In this case, it is necessary to actively treat the primary disease so as to eliminate the symptoms of prolonged menstruation from the source.

4. Unclean sexual life

A large proportion of young women have more than one sexual partner. Multiple sexual partners can lead to bacterial growth, and unclean sexual life can lead to prolonged menstruation. Some women even have sex during their menstruation or when their menstruation is about to end, which can increase bleeding when their menstruation is about to end, leading to prolonged menstruation.

5. Abdominal cold

Many women still maintain a beautiful and freezing style during menstruation, which causes their abdomen to be cold, or they wade in the rain during menstruation, etc., especially in cold winter when the temperature is very low. It is okay when indoors, but it is especially important to pay attention outdoors. Women should pay attention to keeping their abdomen warm and not let the abdomen get damp or cold. Even during menstruation, attention should be paid, because women's bodies are inherently better. If they do not keep warm well, it is easy to cause prolonged menstruation.
