Excessive menstruation is an abnormal condition and also a menstrual anomaly. After excessive menstruation, we must attach great importance, especially timely examination, identification of the cause, and targeted treatment.
Causes of excessive menstruation
1. Abnormal vaginal bleeding, abnormal pregnancy: Normal and normal before menstruation, suddenly being late for more than a week or more without reason, and then having a large amount, opening the water gate to flow noisily, mixed with more blood clots and tissue than usual, and taking longer than usual. This may be abnormal vaginal bleeding in mature women, and sometimes it is also related to pregnancy complications.
2. Endocrine dysfunction: Irregular menstruation, frequent and irregular menstrual flow, irregular menstrual periods, and bleeding before menstruation. If other obvious reasons cannot be found, the likelihood of functional abnormalities is high. In fact, many women's excessive menstruation is sometimes not pathological. For example, when entering menopause, menstrual disorders occur, and it is time to consider whether there is a possibility of functional imbalance. Many people often refer to estrogen disorders as this situation.
3. Improper contraception method: Sudden increase in menstrual flow, sudden shortening of menstrual cycle, and high likelihood of menstrual extension. The most common trouble is not the uterine ring. Especially the new generation of active uterine rings with copper ions not only improve contraceptive performance, but also increase menstrual bleeding.

4. Other factors include changes in climate and seasons, changes in living environment, emotional tension, excessive fatigue, improper diet, and sometimes excessive menstruation.
