Menstruation is not over for 10 days

The menstrual condition can reflect the health status of women's body to a certain extent. Therefore, for many female friends who want to understand their own physical condition, they can start by understanding their menstruation. Generally speaking, it is normal for menstruation to last within a week, but some women may have a menstrual period that is too long, which is closely related to their own physical constitution, medication, and unhealthy living habits.

1. Menstruation has not ended after 10 days

If the menstrual period lasts for more than 10 days and has not ended, it is necessary to use medication or change lifestyle according to the specific cause. Normal menstruation lasts 2-8 days, with an average of 3-7 days. If your menstrual cycle is usually regular but suddenly becomes prolonged, you need to consider whether you have used blood-activating drugs or contraceptives during or before your period. In addition, strenuous physical activity or heavy physical activity before menstruation may also cause prolonged menstruation. In this case, as long as the inducing cause is eliminated, menstruation may return to normal. In addition, if there is no obvious cause, regular menstruation of 9-10 days is likely caused by corpus luteum insufficiency or corpus luteum atrophy. To treat this disease, you can choose oral contraceptives, such as Marvelon or progesterone, etc. In addition, it can be used in conjunction with estrogen-progestin combination therapy.

2. What if my period hasn't ended after 10 days?

Normal menstrual bleeding generally lasts for 3 to 7 days. If it exceeds 10 days, it can be considered as prolonged bleeding. Excessive menstrual bleeding can be caused by many reasons, the most common of which are: fatigue during menstruation, cold, endocrine disorders, IUD insertion, gynecological inflammation, uterine fibroids, blood diseases, liver or kidney diseases, endometrial abnormalities, etc. It may also be caused by irregular menstruation. There are many reasons for irregular menstruation, which can usually be divided into two categories clinically:

One is functional, such as menstrual irregularities caused by endocrine dysfunction.

Second, organic diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis can also cause irregular menstruation. To treat irregular menstruation, you must first check B-ultrasound and six sex hormone tests to identify the specific cause, treat the primary disease, and then appropriately use some Chinese medicine to regulate menstruation.

3. What to do if your menstrual period is not clean

If menstruation is always irregular, symptomatic treatment should be given. For example, the primary goal for patients with functional uterine bleeding is to stop the bleeding, and the second is to adjust the menstrual cycle to avoid recurrence of bleeding. Patients with uterine fibroids may receive medication or surgical treatment depending on the size of the tumor. Those with luteal insufficiency can use hormones to regulate menstruation in the short term; those whose menstruation is always irregular due to the influence of contraceptive rings can try other contraceptive methods.

In addition, women who have irregular menstruation should pay attention to the following aspects in their daily life:

1. Maintain a regular rhythm of life, with both work and rest, and avoid overwork.

2. Pay attention to emotional regulation and avoid excessive tension or large mood swings.

3. Irregular menstruation is often accompanied by varying degrees of anemia. Therefore, you should strengthen your nutrition in your diet and eat more iron-containing foods such as animal offal to ensure your iron needs. At the same time, pay attention to ensuring a balanced intake of nutrients such as protein, fiber, and minerals.

4. Develop good hygiene habits, especially during the menstrual period, you should combine work and exercise, pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, and wash and change underwear frequently.

5. Learn more about physiological menstruation and seek medical attention promptly if any menstrual abnormalities occur. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, you should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan, insist on follow-up, and achieve complete recovery.
