Menstrual flow is a type of menstrual disorder, and excessive menstrual flow in women can also make their mood very bad. What causes excessive menstrual flow?
1. Due to excessive secretion of ovarian estrogen, long-term stimulation of the endometrium causes it to proliferate beyond normal thickness, resulting in increased bleeding during shedding, such as anovulatory functional uterine bleeding.
2. Excessive menstrual flow in women may indicate uterine fibroids. Endometrial bleeding is the main symptom of uterine fibroids, but in the vast majority of patients, endometrial bleeding often manifests as periodic menstrual bleeding and menstrual irregularities. If menstruation suddenly becomes irregular or one of the following situations occurs, one should be vigilant: excessive menstruation, periodic bleeding, often accompanied by prolonged menstruation; Shortened menstrual cycle and increased menstrual flow; Irregular bleeding, loss of normal menstrual cycle, varying menstrual flow, incomplete dripping, and prolonged duration.
3. Inflammation of reproductive organs. If vaginal bleeding is accompanied by lower abdominal or lower back pain, increased vaginal discharge, abnormal color or odor, fever, frequent urination and pain, it is necessary to consider the occurrence of genital infection.
4. Cervical hypertrophy. Cervical hypertrophy is a type of chronic cervicitis, characterized by excessive menstruation, purulent vaginal discharge, dysmenorrhea, lower abdominal and lumbar pain, as well as frequent urination, urgency, pain during urination, and bleeding during sexual intercourse. Severe cases can cause endometritis, salpingo oophoritis, tubal adhesions, leading to infertility and increasing the risk of cervical cancer.
5. Blood disease. For example, leukemia, aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, pernicious anemia, etc. Due to the fact that menstruation, like other human bleeding phenomena, is also regulated by its own coagulation system. If there are abnormalities in the coagulation system, such as hemophilia patients who are born with a deficiency in a certain coagulation factor, their menstrual flow and bleeding time may be long due to the difficulty of blood clotting. If you face the problem of excessive menstruation for a long time and cannot find any cause after examination by an obstetrician, you should consider undergoing a detailed blood test to see if you have a blood disease.
By understanding the causes of excessive menstrual flow, we can take preventive measures to avoid being constantly plagued by this issue. Female friends must take good care of their bodies and not regret it later.
