What are the causes of irregular menstruation in women? Is it normal for menstruation to last for eight or nine days?

Menstrual irregularity is a gynecological disease with a very high incidence rate clinically. According to the latest clinical data statistics, about 30% of the female population in my country suffer from menstrual irregularity. Because many people do not pay attention to menstrual irregularity and do not go to the hospital for treatment in time, the condition worsens. Regarding whether it is normal for the menstrual period to end after 89 days, and the causes of menstrual irregularity in women and other related issues, we specially invited Fu Xiafei, chief physician of Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University, to give us a special interpretation.

Is it normal that my period takes eight or nine days to end?

It is abnormal for menstruation to end after eight or nine days. Normal menstruation should be 3 to 7 days. If it exceeds 7 days, it is considered to be too long. The causes of too long menstruation are: 1. Organic lesions, such as endometrial polyps and submucous uterine fibroids; 2. Endocrine system disorders. Hormone secretion disorders cause luteal insufficiency and poor luteal function, resulting in too long menstruation; 3. The incision in the uterus of women who have undergone cesarean section does not heal well and is uneven, forming a scar diverticulum, which causes too long menstruation.

Can oral contraceptives regulate menstruation?

Short-acting oral contraceptives can be used to regulate menstruation. Short-acting oral contraceptives contain relatively low drug doses, so women need to take them for a long time to adjust the menstrual cycle. Commonly used clinical products include Yousiyue. It should be noted that when women experience abnormal uterine bleeding in the early stage of taking the drug, they should seek medical attention in time and adjust the drug and dosage under the guidance of the doctor.
