The term “great aunt” generally refers to a woman’s menstrual period. There are many reasons why menstruation does not go away, which may be caused by luteal atrophy, endometrial polyps, fibroids, etc. It is recommended to choose the appropriate treatment according to the different causes. Commonly used treatments include medication and surgery.
1. Luteal atrophy: caused by insufficient secretion of progesterone by the corpus luteum or premature decline of the corpus luteum, drugs such as progesterone can be taken or injected to relieve the symptoms.
2. Endometrial polyp: it is a common uterine cavity lesion caused by overgrowth of uterine lining, which occurs in women of childbearing age, and patients may have excessive menstruation and prolonged menstrual period. Progesterone can be used to reduce the size of the polyp and relieve the symptoms, but it is usually not a cure. If you want to cure it, you will usually choose to remove the polyp through surgery.
3. Uterine fibroids: These are benign tumors that occur in women and may cause prolonged menstruation and irregular vaginal bleeding during non-menstrual periods. Leuprolide, mifepristone and other drugs can be used to reduce the size of fibroids and relieve symptoms. Patients with large or malignant fibroid tumors can choose surgical methods to remove the fibroid.
There may be other reasons for menstruation not going away, such as endometrial cancer and so on. Patients are advised to seek medical advice as soon as possible, complete the relevant examinations, and carry out targeted treatment after identifying the causes under the guidance of professional doctors. The use of the above medications should be in accordance with medical advice.
