What should I do if I have irregular menstruation for a long time?

Long-term menstrual irregularities may be caused by normal phenomena, endocrine disorders, uterine fibroids, etc., and can be treated through medication, surgery, etc.

1. Normal phenomenon:

If you are at menarche, the development of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis is not yet fully mature, and your menstruation may be irregular. If there are no other discomfort symptoms, it is a physiological phenomenon. As the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis gradually matures, the symptoms will improve on their own and no special treatment is needed.

2. Endocrine disorders:

It is related to factors such as mental stress, irregular life and irregular diet, which may lead to increased estrogen secretion and irregular shedding of the endometrium, manifested as prolonged menstruation and increased menstrual volume. Patients can take Wuji Baifeng Pills, Xiaoyao Pills, Weixiaoyao Pills and other drugs for conditioning under the guidance of doctors.

3. Uterine fibroids:

The cause is still unclear, but it may be related to genetics, sex hormone levels, stem cell mutations, etc., which can lead to an enlarged uterus, an expanded endometrium, and increased and prolonged menstruation. Patients can undergo myomectomy, or hysterectomy if they do not have plans to have children.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by endometriosis and adenomyosis, which should also be treated in time.
