Why does my menstruation keep going on? What factors affect it?

Some female friends may feel that their menstrual period lasts for a very long time. Generally, the menstrual period lasts about 10 days. If the menstrual period lasts more than ten days, it means that there is something wrong with the body. This condition may occur due to blood heat, qi deficiency, blood deficiency, etc.

1. Blood heat factors: People with excessive yang energy in the body, or who consume excessive amounts of spicy food and supplements, or who are depressed, or who have lost a lot of blood due to long-term illness, will have hot blood in their hands. When the blood gets hot, it will not flow properly and the flow rate will also be slowed down, causing the menstrual period to come earlier.

2. Qi deficiency factors: People who have irregular diet or overwork are most likely to damage their spleen. The spleen is the "manager" of blood. If the "manager" is weak, the "managed" will inevitably take the opportunity to "make trouble", causing menstruation to come early. Just like what is said in "Jing Yue Quan Shu Fu Gui": "If there is no fire in the pulse and the menstruation comes early or late, it is because the heart and spleen qi are weak and cannot control the disease."

3. Caused by organic diseases or drugs, including local inflammation of reproductive organs, tumors and developmental abnormalities, malnutrition; intracranial diseases; other endocrine dysfunctions such as thyroid and adrenal cortex dysfunction, diabetes, Sheehan's disease, liver diseases, blood diseases, etc. Menstrual irregularities may occur in women who use drugs to treat mental illnesses, endocrine preparations, or intrauterine devices for contraception.

4. Caused by neuroendocrine dysfunction: mainly due to unstable or defective function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis, that is, menstrual disorders.

5. Taking emergency contraceptive pills : Taking emergency contraceptive pills can easily cause menstrual cycle disorders. Repeated use of this contraceptive pill will interfere with women's ovarian function, cause endocrine disorders, and in severe cases lead to infertility.
