What are the causes of long menstrual cycles?

The menstrual cycle should be normal, but for many people, due to various factors or pathological factors, the menstrual cycle becomes irregular or irregular, which will cause our body to have heavy menstrual flow or the phenomenon you wrote. For this, we need to know the causes of long menstrual cycles, which are mainly inflammatory diseases of the endometrium and diseases including uterine fibroids.

I believe many women have a question: "Why do most people have a menstrual cycle of about five days, but my menstrual cycle is often ten days, which is always longer than others. What is the reason for this?" Let me introduce the reasons for long menstrual cycles in women!

There are many reasons why women have long menstrual cycles, specifically as follows:

1. Endometriosis: This is often caused by affecting the contraction of the uterine muscle layer or due to the enhancement of the endometrium, resulting in excessive menstrual cycles or prolonged menstruation. Having an IUD can also cause prolonged menstruation.

2. Uterine leiomyoma: especially submucosal uterine leiomyoma, due to the expansion of the uterine cavity area and abnormal contraction, it can cause excessive menstrual cycles and prolonged menstruation.

3. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding: such as anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding and irregular endometrial shedding, both of which cause prolonged menstruation due to endocrine dysfunction.

4. Chronic uterine hypertrophy: Due to pelvic congestion, ovarian estrogen continues to increase, causing the uterine muscle layer to thicken, resulting in excessive menstrual cycles and prolonged menstruation.

Pelvic inflammation, intrauterine polyps, uterine inflammation, etc. are all caused by poor intrauterine blood circulation, degeneration and necrosis, or pelvic congestion, which lead to excessive menstrual cycles and prolonged menstruation.

5. Blood diseases: such as thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, etc., are often accompanied by menstrual cycles. If severe uterine bleeding occurs, the menstrual period will be prolonged. Other conditions such as chronic anemia, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, nephritis, etc. can make the blood vessel walls fragile, increase permeability and cause bleeding.
