Why is the menstrual period irregular for a 50-year-old woman?

Irregular menstruation in women aged 50 is generally caused by ovarian dysfunction, endometritis, endometrial polyps, uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, etc., and requires going to the hospital to find out the cause and make improvements.

1. Ovarian dysfunction:

As age increases, the body's functions gradually decline. Women in their 50s may experience ovarian dysfunction and irregular menstruation, which is part of the menopausal transition period. If there are no other physical discomfort symptoms, generally no treatment is required, and you can just maintain a good lifestyle.

2. Endometritis:

This disease is generally caused by bacteria breaking through the cervical defense and invading the endometrium. Under repeated stimulation of inflammation, it will cause abnormal vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. Patients can choose intravenous drip treatment. Commonly used drugs generally include sodium penicillin for injection, sodium amoxicillin for injection, sodium ceftriaxone for injection, etc.

3. Endometrial polyps:

This disease is generally caused by excessively high estrogen levels, repeated inflammatory stimulation, etc. It can cause menstrual abnormalities after pregnancy. It can be treated through endometrial resection under the doctor's operation. Local care needs to be strengthened after the operation.

4. Uterine fibroids:

This disease is generally caused by genetic factors, changes in hormone levels, etc. It is a benign disease that may cause symptoms such as abnormal menstruation and abdominal lumps. Patients can be treated through hysteromyomectomy under the operation of a doctor.

5. Cervical cancer:

This disease is generally caused by human papillomavirus infection, long-term exposure to radiation, etc., which can lead to abnormal vaginal bleeding. Patients can be treated by hysterectomy under the doctor's operation, and radiotherapy can be used to consolidate the condition after surgery.

If the cause is pathological factors, you should pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain a stable mentality during treatment, which will help recovery from the disease.
