What's going on with sudden irregular menstruation and prolonged and excessive menstruation?

Many female friends often feel that their menstrual period is delayed, and sometimes there is a significant difference in the amount of menstruation. This is related to the surrounding environment, women's mood, weather and other factors, but most of the time it may be caused by some diseases. It is best to pay enough attention to it and go to a more professional hospital for examination in time.

Uterine fibroids

The typical symptoms of uterine fibroids are menorrhagia and secondary anemia, but some patients may have no symptoms.

The incidence of uterine fibroids is very high, reaching 20% ​​to 25%, but about 99.5% of them are benign. The main reasons for increased bleeding caused by uterine fibroids are: the area of ​​the endometrium increases, the endometrium proliferates due to the action of estrogen, the fibroids hinder uterine contraction, and affect blood circulation, causing endometrial congestion. Due to long-term bleeding, patients often have varying degrees of anemia. In addition to causing excessive menstruation, uterine fibroids can also compress the bladder, urethra or rectum, causing frequent urination, difficulty urinating, urinary retention or constipation. When the fibroids grow to both sides, broad ligament fibroids are formed. When they compress the ureter, they can cause hydroureteral or renal pelvis; if they compress the pelvic blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, they can cause lower limb edema.

Sheung Wan

In real life, some women often experience heavy menstruation, prolonged menstrual cycle, dysmenorrhea, etc. after having an IUD inserted. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, not all of which are caused by the contraceptive ring itself. The endometrium is very fragile. If bacteria or viruses are introduced into the endometrium during IUD insertion, or if hygiene is not paid attention to after IUD insertion, it can easily cause uterine infection, excessive bleeding, prolonged menstruation, and dysmenorrhea. However, the possibility of infection during IUD insertion rarely occurs in regular hospitals.

Excessive menstruation after IUD insertion requires serious diagnosis and treatment. Under normal circumstances, IUD insertion will not cause excessive menstruation. Excessive menstruation is a disease in itself. If your menstrual period increases significantly after IUD insertion and is accompanied by abdominal pain, back pain, prolapse, fever, excessive bleeding, and vaginal discharge with an odor, you should be alert and go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Of course, if X-ray, B-ultrasound, and hysterography confirm that the problem is with the shape or position of the contraceptive ring, it should be replaced in time. This has a good effect on ulcerative bleeding caused by local pressure from the contraceptive ring, because after replacement the bleeding area has a chance to repair, facilitating the healing of the ulcer surface.

Excessive menstrual flow for a long time may also cause anemia in women, and they may often feel dizzy, weak and other discomforts. If it is caused by an illness and is not effectively treated for a long time, the severity of the illness will be significantly aggravated, posing a greater threat to the health of female friends.
