5 Diseases to Be Careful of when Menstruation Sudden Increase 7 Methods to Ensure Normal Menstruation

Menstruation is a normal physiological reaction in women, but abnormal conditions can also occur, especially when some diseases occur that can affect women's menstrual status. We should be careful of the causes of the diseases.

Causes of excessive menstruation

1. Due to excessive secretion of estrogen by the ovaries, 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 be due to uterine fibroids. Endometrial bleeding is the main symptom of uterine fibroids, but in the vast majority of patients, it often manifests as periodic increase in menstrual bleeding, sudden irregular menstruation, or one of the following situations: excessive menstruation, periodic bleeding, often accompanied by prolonged menstruation, shortened menstruation, irregular bleeding with excessive menstruation, loss of normal periodicity, excessive menstruation, no omissions, and long duration.

3. Genital inflammation. The amount of vaginal bleeding is mostly accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen or waist, increased vaginal secretions, abnormal color or odor, fever, frequent urination, pain, and genital infection should be considered.

4. Cervical hypertrophy. Cervical hypertrophy is a type of chronic cervicitis, mainly characterized by excessive menstruation, purulent vaginal discharge, dysmenorrhea, lower abdominal and lumbosacral pain, or frequent urination, urgency, pain, and sexual bleeding. Severe cases can cause endometritis, salpingoovarianitis, and tubal adhesions, leading to infertility and increasing the risk of cervical cancer.

5. Hematology. For example: leukemia, aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, pernicious anemia, etc. Menstruation is also controlled by its own coagulation system, just like other human bleeding phenomena. If there is an abnormality in the coagulation system, such as in hemophilia patients with congenital deficiency of a certain coagulation factor, the difficulty of blood clotting leads to large menstrual volume and long bleeding time each time. Faced with the problem of excessive menstruation for a long time, obstetricians and gynecology cannot find the cause after examination. They should consider receiving a detailed blood test to see if they have a blood disease.

Prevention of excessive menstruation

1. Contraception: Attention should be paid to contraception and abstinence. Controlling childbirth and abstinence can prevent the occurrence of diseases, avoid excessive childbirth (abortion), and avoid overlapping menstruation and postpartum periods. Otherwise, it can damage conflicts, blood essence, kidney qi, and ultimately cause menstrual diseases. Therefore, it is important to pay more attention during menstruation and postpartum to reduce and prevent the occurrence of diseases.
