What is the reason behind the prolonged menstrual period during menopause?

When women reach menopause, their bodies will undergo many changes, leading to some abnormal phenomena. For example, some women will experience heavy menstruation during menopause, and their periods will not be clean for a long time. This is certainly abnormal. So what is the culprit?

1. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding

Dysfunctional uterine bleeding, also known as dysfunctional uterine bleeding, is mainly related to endocrine disorders. The most common one is irregular shedding of the endometrium leading to prolonged menstruation. In addition, it is also related to anovulatory uterine dysfunctional bleeding.

2. Gynecological inflammation

Many gynecological inflammations may cause menstrual bleeding in menopausal women, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometrial polyps, endometriosis, endometritis, etc. Relevant examinations are needed to confirm the diagnosis.

3. Ovulation bleeding

Ovulation bleeding usually occurs seven to ten days after the end of menstruation, and the amount of bleeding is less, but some women will continue to bleed for a few days, which may be mistaken for another period. In fact, it is because after the follicle ruptures, the estrogen level in the body temporarily drops, causing a small part of the endometrium to fall off and bleed, not menstruation.

IV. Systemic Diseases

The prolonged menstrual bleeding in menopausal women may also be related to systemic diseases, such as some blood diseases, liver cirrhosis, etc.

Opinions and suggestions: It is recommended to go to the hospital's gynecology department for a check-up 3 to 7 days after the menstruation ends, or ask the Chinese medicine department to prescribe some menstruation-regulating medicine. During menstruation, pay attention to keeping warm, do not drink alcohol or eat spicy food, do not do strenuous exercise, and keep a happy mood. I hope this helps.

It is recommended that women who encounter this situation go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time to find out the cause and get symptomatic treatment based on the cause.
