The term “physiologic period” is generally used to refer to a woman’s menstrual period. Menstruation for more than 10 days may be related to endometritis, uterine polyps, uterine fibroids and other factors, which can be treated with medication or surgery.
1. Endometritis: Under the stimulation of inflammation, the endometrial tissue becomes congested and edematous, resulting in symptoms such as irregular menstruation and increased menstrual flow. Generally, antibiotic drugs can be used for treatment, such as metronidazole tablets, ofloxacin tablets, etc. Patients with a history of allergy to the drugs are prohibited from taking them, and the specific use of medication should be in accordance with the doctor’s instructions.
2. Uterine polyps: the surface of the polyp is relatively fragile and easy to bleed, and bleeding is easy to occur during menstruation. It is necessary for the doctor to determine whether it is necessary to surgically remove the polyp tissue according to the size of the polyp and whether the patient is experiencing obvious discomfort.
3. Uterine fibroids: Uterine fibroids may affect the hormone balance in the body, making the lining of the uterus increase in size, resulting in menstrual bleeding for more than ten days. When treating fibroids, the doctor will formulate a specific surgical plan according to the size and location of the fibroids and the patient’s own condition, and choose hysteroscopic surgery or laparoscopic surgery.
As there are many reasons for menstruation for more than ten days, it is recommended that patients go to the hospital as soon as possible for further examination, to clarify the cause of the disease under the guidance of a professional doctor, and to actively target treatment.
