What should I do if my menstrual period lasts for 20 days?

Menstruation lasting 20 days is caused by staying up late for a long time, endometritis, uterine polyps, etc., which can be improved through increased rest, oral medication, surgical treatment and other methods.

1. Staying up late for a long time: If women often stay up late, it may affect their endocrine system and easily cause endocrine disorders. At this time, the estrogen level in the body will also change, and abnormal shedding of the endometrium is likely to occur. In this case, you can strengthen your rest. Usually, you should have a regular work and rest schedule. After the body recovers, the symptoms will be relieved.

2. Endometritis: usually caused by long-term use of unclean menstrual pads, sexual intercourse during menstruation, long-term vaginal douching and other factors, which can cause bacterial infection, leading to symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, prolonged menstruation, and increased menstrual flow. Drugs such as metronidazole tablets, azithromycin capsules, and doxycycline hydrochloride tablets can be used under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Uterine polyps: This disease is easily affected by estrogen levels. If the estrogen level is too high, it is easy to cause endometrial thickening. At this time, the uterine tissue may overgrow. This situation may cause symptoms such as abnormal menstruation and bleeding during menstruation. Under the guidance of a doctor, hysteroscopic polypectomy, hysterectomy, curettage and other surgical treatments can be used.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome, uterine fibroids, thrombocytopenic purpura, etc., which require active treatment.
