There are more reasons for women to have long periods, which may be caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, irregular shedding of the endometrium and so on.
1. Pelvic inflammatory disease: If you don’t pay attention to pubic hygiene, the infection may go upward to the pelvis and cause pelvic inflammatory disease, and the onset of menstruation may show increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual period, and there may also be lower abdominal pain and increased vaginal secretion.
2. Uterine fibroids: when the fibroids are close to the endometrium, the area of endometrium increases, which may affect the normal contraction of uterus, and then lead to the symptom of prolonged menstruation.
3. Irregular shedding of uterine lining: This is a kind of ovulatory abnormal uterine bleeding. Due to the dysfunction of hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis regulation, it causes luteal atrophy incompleteness and continuous secretion of progesterone, so that the endometrium can not be shed intact, which leads to prolonged menstruation and symptoms of heavy bleeding.
There may be other reasons for long menstruation, so it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, complete the relevant examinations, clarify the cause of the disease under the guidance of a professional doctor, and take standardized treatment methods.
