Why does my period at the age of 50 come once every two months and why is the amount of blood heavy?

After the age of 50, menstruation basically occurs once every two months. More frequent menstruation may be caused by endocrine disorders, endometritis, uterine polyps, etc.

1. Endocrine disorders: may be caused by mental stress, long-term staying up late, etc., which will lead to excessive or insufficient hormone production in the body, irregular shedding of the endometrium, irregular menstrual cycle, increased menstrual volume, etc. Progesterone capsules, Wuji Baifeng pills, Yimucao granules and other drugs can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Endometritis: Considering personal hygiene and infection, bacteria will spread upward along the reproductive system. The endometrium is in a state of congestion and swelling under the stimulation of inflammation, leading to symptoms such as endometrial thickening, increased menstrual volume, and prolonged menstrual cycle. You need to use drugs such as amoxicillin capsules, levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules, and doxycycline hydrochloride tablets as prescribed by your doctor.

3. Uterine polyps: They may be caused by high estrogen levels, high blood pressure, etc., because the increase of hormones in the body will stimulate the uterus to cause excessive growth of the local endometrium, resulting in symptoms such as increased menstrual flow and abnormal menstruation. Hysterectomy and hysteroscopic polypectomy need to be performed under the guidance of professional doctors.

In addition to the above common causes, it may also be caused by uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, cervical cancer and other diseases. If the patient has other discomfort symptoms, he needs to go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the condition.
