Abnormal menstruation can also occur in our daily lives, among which excessive menstruation is a type of irregular menstruation. It is necessary to clarify the cause and pay attention to prevention.
Causes of excessive menstruation
1. Gynecological diseases:
(1) Dysfunctional uterine bleeding: Dysfunctional uterine bleeding, abbreviated as dysfunction, refers to menstrual disorders without organic disorders, such as irregular menstruation, excessive menstruation, prolonged menstruation, incomplete dripping, irregular vaginal bleeding, and severe bleeding.
(2) Uterine fibroids: Uterine fibroids are common genital tumors in women of childbearing age, with a high incidence rate. Excessive menstruation is commonly seen in two types of uterine fibroids: intramuscular and submucosal.
(3) Chronic disc inflammation: Disc inflammation is a common cause of abnormal vaginal bleeding. When inflammation occurs, local blood vessels become brittle, menstrual bleeding is difficult to coagulate, menstrual volume increases, and menstrual period prolongs.
(4) Endometriosis: In short, the tissue that originally grew in the inner layer of the uterine wall appears elsewhere. These ectopic endometria hinder various normal functions of the reproductive organs, accompanied by symptoms such as prolonged menstruation and excessive menstruation.
2. Hematology: Menstruation is similar to other bleeding phenomena in the human body and is also controlled by one's own coagulation system. Some blood diseases can affect blood coagulation and also lead to menstrual disorders and excessive menstruation, such as thrombocytopenic purpura, hemophilia, leukemia, aplastic anemia, and other diseases.
3. Improper contraceptive method:
(1) Intrauterine device: The contraceptive ring is a commonly used contraceptive method, and its most prominent problems are shortened menstrual cycle, prolonged menstrual period, significantly increased menstrual volume, and post menstrual bleeding.
(2) Contraceptives: Failure to take the instructions or taking them incorrectly may easily cause reproductive hormone level disorder in the body and affect the bleeding of endometrium dysplasia.
4. Other factors include changes in climate and seasons, changes in living environment, emotional tension, excessive fatigue, improper diet, and sometimes excessive menstruation.
Excessive Menstruation Hazards
1. Hemorrhagic anemia: dizziness, complications of excessive menstruation, fatigue, panic, impatience, etc. In severe cases, it may endanger life.
2. Deterioration of the condition: Many women have excessive menstruation due to gynecological diseases, which are complications of excessive menstruation. The most common ones are uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts, and the condition worsens if not treated in a timely manner. Difficulty in treatment is also one of the hazards of excessive menstruation.
