Women get together with their "good friends" every month, but sometimes the "good friends" take too long to come, and they start to feel irritated and worried. Prolonged menstrual period in women is also a disease. However, the normal menstrual period for women is 2-7 days. If the menstrual period exceeds 7 days, it is considered to be too long. At this time, you need to be careful that it may be a disease problem. The following diseases may cause prolonged menstruation. The normal menstrual period lasts for 2 to 7 days, and in some cases it lasts for 3 to 5 days. If your period lasts longer than 7 days, it is considered a prolonged period. Prolonged menstrual period should be taken seriously as it may be a precursor to certain diseases and the cause should be investigated further. Blood disorders Such as thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, etc., are often accompanied by menstruation. 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. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Pelvic inflammation, intrauterine polyps, endometritis, etc. are all caused by poor intrauterine blood circulation, degeneration and necrosis, or pelvic congestion, which lead to excessive menstruation and prolonged menstruation. Chronic uterine hypertrophy (uterine myositis) Due to pelvic congestion, ovarian estrogen continues to increase, causing thickening of the uterine muscle layer, resulting in excessive menstruation and prolonged menstruation. Uterine fibroids Especially for submucosal uterine fibroids, due to the expansion of the uterine cavity area, it contracts abnormally. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding For example, anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding and irregular endometrial shedding both cause prolonged menstruation due to endocrine dysfunction. Endometriosis It often causes menorrhagia or prolonged menstruation due to affecting the contraction of the uterine muscle layer or strengthening the endometrium. In addition, the placement of an IUD can easily cause prolonged menstruation. Therefore, prolonged menstruation is caused by systemic diseases as well as many gynecological diseases, which should be differentiated and identified, and then treated separately. There are many diseases that can occur due to prolonged menstruation. If your menstrual period is long, you should pay attention and don’t think that this is normal. Although this is a common symptom, it is not a normal phenomenon. Everyone should pay attention to it. If you have a prolonged menstrual period, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment to avoid worsening of the situation. |
