Menstruation is a distinctive physiological characteristic unique to women. Having a normal menstrual cycle also indicates that a woman's body is relatively healthy. Menstruation is not only one of the conditions for nurturing the next generation, but also effectively helps women eliminate harmful substances from the body. So, what can excessive menstrual flow cause?
Excessive menstrual flow is not beneficial to the body. Generally, excessive menstrual flow is caused by gynecological inflammation, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, vaginitis, etc., which can increase women's menstrual flow because the local blood vessels affected by inflammation are very sensitive. When menstruation comes, there will be an increase in blood volume. Excessive menstrual flow is also related to improper sexual hygiene or improper use of intrauterine devices, which can increase blood volume during menstruation and eventually lead to symptoms of bleeding.
Excessive menstrual flow can have a certain impact on the body. Due to excessive bleeding during menstruation, women may experience symptoms of anemia. After menstruation ends, they may experience general weakness, insomnia, and frequent dreams. There are many reasons that can cause an increase in menstrual flow, some of which can also lead to female infertility. If a woman's menstrual flow exceeds 100 milliliters, it indicates excessive menstrual flow. Long term heavy menstrual flow requires consideration of diseases such as uterine fibroids or blood clotting disorders.
Women must pay attention to keeping warm during menstruation, avoid touching cold water, maintain a balanced diet, supplement nutrition, avoid heavy physical labor, and smoothly pass the menstrual period.
