How to treat abnormal menstrual bleeding

　　cause Menstrual disorders There are many reasons, and different improvement plans for individuals can more effectively help menstruation return to normal.

　　First, let’s understand what kind of bleeding is considered abnormal.

　　If your menstrual period is less than 21 days, or more than 35 days, or you have bleeding or spotting between menstrual periods, this is abnormal bleeding. It is considered abnormal to have more than 2 ounces (about 12 teaspoons) of menstrual blood per month. If this continues, it will lead to anemia . If the amount of menstrual blood is very heavy, it is not normal to have to change tampons (strips) every 1-2 hours. There are many causes of abnormal bleeding, but fortunately almost all are benign and easily treated.

　　The most common causes include: hormonal changes, ovarian cysts, uterine or cervical polyps, overgrowth of endometrial cells (hyperplasia), Uterine fibroids , in rare cases, may also be uterine cancer or precancerous symptoms.

　　Abnormal bleeding is more likely during adolescence

　　most young female During the first year or two after menstruation begins, there will only be a few ovulations, and the menstrual cycle may range from 20 to 45 days. The ovaries produce estrogen, which causes the lining of the uterus to grow, but without ovulation and the progesterone produced after ovulation, this growth cannot be controlled.

　　Overgrown cells can become very fragile and begin to bleed on their own. If the menstrual cycle stretches out over several months, the overgrown cells will accumulate, causing heavy bleeding when menstruation begins.

　　Therefore, it is common for young women to have very irregular menstrual cycles before their hormones have reached equilibrium and ovulation occurs regularly. If an adolescent girl has severe heavy menstrual bleeding, she should seek medical attention as soon as possible. As long as it is treated with progesterone, the bleeding can usually stop in a day or two.
