What to do if you have dizziness during menstruation

Many female friends suffer from a series of complications during menstruation. Among these symptoms, dizziness caused by excessive menstrual flow is a very common and widespread symptom. Female patients with this disease have much more menstrual blood than ordinary women during menstruation. This type of heavy bleeding can cause extreme weakness of the body, such as paroxysmal dizziness and even signs of shock. Let's discuss how to deal with dizziness caused by heavy menstruation.

The first is drug treatment

(1) For patients who do not require contraception or are unwilling to use hormone treatment, antifibrinolytic drugs such as tranexamic acid or anti-PG synthetic drugs such as flufenamic acid (flufenamic acid) and mefenamic acid (mefenamic acid) can be used. Adverse reactions may include nausea, dizziness, headache, etc.

(2) For patients who require contraception, endometrial atrophy treatment can be used.

(3) Others: Danazol is a derivative of 17a-ethynyltestosterone. It can inhibit the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, inhibit the peak of the gonadotropin cycle and the production of ovarian sex hormones, and reduce blood loss. However, attention should be paid to side effects such as rash, liver damage, and virilization. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone synergists are effective in suppressing ovarian function, but they can only be used because of the side effects caused by low estrogen.

The second is surgical treatment

For patients who are ineffective with drug treatment, whose disease persists, who are elderly, and who do not desire to have children, surgical removal of the hysterectomy can be performed. In recent years, transcervical endometrial resection (TCRE) has been used, which uses laser, microwave, or electrocoagulation to destroy the functional layer and part of the basal layer of the endometrium under the monitoring of B-ultrasound examination through hysteroscopy, so that it loses the ability to respond to ovarian sex hormones, thereby reducing menstrual blood loss. This type of operation takes a short time, involves little trauma, and has a quick recovery. It is suitable for those who are not suitable for or unwilling to have their uterus removed and have no desire to have children. It can also remove small submucosal fibroids at the same time. Before surgery, gonadotropin-releasing hormone enhancers are used to shrink the endometrium.

Excessive menstrual bleeding deeply troubles many women, causing great inconvenience to their work and life, and even threatening their physical health. It is a female menstrual problem that cannot be underestimated. There are many factors that lead to this phenomenon. Therefore, if women have this phenomenon of dizziness caused by excessive menstrual bleeding, they must seek medical attention as soon as possible and receive treatment as soon as possible.
