What should I do if my menstrual flow is too much and dark red?

What should I do if my menstrual flow is heavy and dark red?

Heavy, dark red menstrual flow may be caused by physiological factors, or it may be due to endometrial polyps, uterine fibroids, etc.

1. Physiological factors:

If you are overly tired, have too much mental stress, have a disordered work and rest, or take certain medications recently, it will lead to unstable hormone levels in the body, resulting in increased estrogen levels, and excessive menstruation and dark red phenomena. Generally speaking, you can slowly recover by adjusting your work and rest habits, relaxing, and getting more rest.

2. Endometrial polyps:

It is a common intrauterine lesion with localized endometrial overgrowth in the uterus. The pathogenesis is still unclear, but it may be related to excessive estrogen levels, inflammatory stimulation, etc., which can lead to endometrial thickening and the above symptoms. In this case, the patient can receive surgical treatment.

3. Uterine fibroids:

It is a benign tumor formed by the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle tissue, which may be related to genetic susceptibility, sex hormone levels and stem cell dysfunction. In the case of intramural fibroids and submucosal fibroids, the presence and development of fibroids will cause the uterus to enlarge, thereby increasing the uterine cavity, increasing the area of ​​the endometrium, and affecting uterine contraction. In this case, the patient can be treated surgically.

It may also be some blood diseases, such as thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, etc., which require timely medical treatment to avoid delaying the condition. During treatment, stay in bed, keep warm, and observe and follow up regularly.
