What causes prolonged menstrual bleeding?

Irregular menstruation may be caused by endocrine disorders during menstruation, endometritis, submucosal uterine fibroids, etc.

1. Endocrine disorders during menstruation: If female endocrine disorders lead to corpus luteum dysfunction, decreased progesterone secretion, and endometrial shedding, symptoms such as prolonged menstruation, scanty menstruation, and irregular vaginal bleeding will occur, including dysfunctional uterine bleeding, anovulatory bleeding near menopause, or anovulatory bleeding during puberty. Patients are advised to relax, adjust their mood, and use medication under the guidance of a doctor, such as Gongyu Xuening Capsules, Bazhen Yimu Tablets, etc.

2. Endometritis: Endometritis refers to an inflammatory reaction that occurs on the endometrium. If the inflammation continues, it may affect the exfoliation and repair of the endometrium, leading to abnormal menstruation and excessive menstrual bleeding. Patients can take metronidazole tablets, levofloxacin hydrochloride tablets and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Submucosal uterine fibroids: Submucosal uterine fibroids may grow into the uterine cavity, affecting uterine contraction, and blood sinuses may open, leading to irregular menstruation, and may also be accompanied by symptoms such as abnormal leucorrhea and blood clots. Laparoscopic or hysteroscopic surgery usually needs to be performed under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition to the common causes mentioned above, it may also be caused by endometrial cancer. Patients should go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations in time to find out the cause and receive symptomatic treatment.
