What to do if your period doesn’t clear for more than 10 days



If your period is not clean for more than ten days, it may be caused by dysfunctional uterine bleeding, endometrial polyps, uterine fibroids, etc., which generally need to be treated with medication or surgery.

1. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding: generally caused by neuroendocrine disorders, which can lead to irregular bleeding of the uterus, generally need to take estrogen drugs or short-acting contraceptives to regulate.

2. Endometrial polyp: it is caused by localized overgrowth of the endometrium, which will lead to long menstrual period, there is no specific treatment drug, if the endometrial polyp is relatively large, it is necessary to do endometrial polypectomy under hysteroscopy, and do pathological examination after the operation.

3. Uterine fibroids: the cause of the disease is still unclear, may be related to genetic factors, sex hormone levels, etc., which will lead to long duration of menstruation. If the tumor is relatively small, most of them do not need to take surgical treatment; if the tumor is relatively large, it can be surgically removed.

If the tumor is relatively small, surgery can be performed to remove it. If the menstrual period does not last for more than 10 days, it may also be caused by other reasons, such as endometrial cancer, so it is best to go to the hospital, do the relevant examinations and cooperate with the doctor to take treatment.
