Is it better to have more or less menstrual flow?

The amount of menstruation is a direct reflection of whether every woman is healthy, but many women have different ideas about the amount of menstruation. Some women think that the process of menstruation is the process of liver detoxification, and that the more the menstrual flow, the better, and the more toxins are discharged from the body, but many people think that less menstrual flow is better, otherwise it will cause anemia. So is it better to have heavy or light menstrual flow?

Too much or too little menstrual flow is abnormal. The normal menstrual flow is generally 30 to 8250L. If the menstrual flow is heavy, women may suffer from anemia or physical weakness, but if the menstrual flow is light, it may be caused by factors such as low estrogen metabolism. Chinese herbal medicine can be used for conditioning according to the actual situation.

A woman's normal menstrual cycle is about 5 to 7 days. If the menstrual flow can only be 1 to 2 days, it is definitely abnormal. If the menstrual period has not ended for more than 7 days, it may be caused by reasons such as IUD or birth control pills. If a woman with an IUD has a heavy menstrual flow, she should go to the hospital immediately to check whether the IUD is misplaced. If so, relevant measures should be taken.

To sum up, heavy or light menstrual flow are both abnormal conditions, which are manifestations of menstrual disorders. We must pay attention to nutritional supplements on a daily basis, and we should not replenish qi and blood too much, because too much qi and blood may cause excessive menstrual flow.

What is the reason for heavy menstrual flow?

1. Caused by imbalance of neuroendocrine function

The main problem is that the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-uterine-ovarian axis is unstable or defective, that is, menstrual disease.

2. Caused by blood disease

Increased menstrual periods may not be a problem with the male reproductive organs themselves, but may be a sign of a blood disease. Because menstruation, like other bleeding conditions in the body, is regulated by the body's own coagulation system. If there is an abnormality in the coagulation system, for example, hemophilia patients who are born with a lack of certain coagulation factors have difficulty clotting their blood, resulting in heavy menstrual flow and prolonged bleeding each time. And menorrhagia is sometimes the only symptom of female hemophilia patients! Other common blood diseases such as thrombocytopenic purpura, sepsis, aplastic anemia, etc., can also easily invade the coagulation system and increase menstrual flow.

When you are prone to various infections, often have fever (especially high fever), in addition to the habitual increase in menstruation, there are also skin bruises, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, etc. This abnormal bleeding is more likely to be a problem with the coagulation system-that is, blood disease.

3. Tumors

The most common sexual organ tumor among women of childbearing age is uterine fibroids.

The prevalence of uterine fibroids is very high, reaching 20% ​​to 25%, but please don't be afraid, because 99.5% of them are healthy. The most common types of uterine fibroids that cause menorrhagia are myenteric fibroids and submucosal fibroids. Uterine intrauterine polyps are actually an inflammatory disease. In recent years, the incidence of cervical cancer has been increasing, and there is a trend of gradually younger age.
