Menstruation has not ended and there is light blood

There are 30 days in a month, and menstruation accounts for almost a quarter of the time. For many women with irregular menstruation, this period may even be prolonged. If menstruation does not end, it does not mean that the amount of blood will be heavy every day, but there will be a light blood color, which will have an adverse effect on eating and lifestyle during this period. This phenomenon is mainly caused by the disease itself or the medications taken, and is also accompanied by severe abdominal pain. You must learn to take care of your body in daily life.

Causes of irregular menstruation

Menstruation usually lasts 3-7 days. If menstruation is heavy and irregular, or even accompanied by chronic lower abdominal pain or menstrual pain, it is time to pay attention. Irregular menstruation may be caused by disease, medication or birth control ring. The reasons for irregular menstruation are:

1. Functional uterine bleeding

There are no obvious organic changes, but it may manifest as endless bleeding or heavy bleeding, mainly manifested by a significant prolongation of bleeding time after the onset of menstruation. In most cases, the menstrual period lasts about 10 days, and in some cases it can even be as long as 2 months.

2. Uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids growing in different locations will have different symptoms, such as long menstrual periods, heavy menstrual flow, increased nocturia, frequent urination, unexplained constipation, and even a lump can be felt in the abdomen.

3. Luteal insufficiency

Insufficient progesterone secretion by the corpus luteum after ovulation or premature atrophy of the corpus luteum, which leads to delayed endometrial development, is usually called luteal insufficiency. Patients are prone to shortened menstrual cycles, recurrent miscarriages or infertility.

4. Impact of IUD

There is generally a six-month adaptation period after IUD insertion. It is normal to experience lower abdominal discomfort within 3-6 months after the IUD is inserted. If you still have a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, back pain, abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, or menstrual blood volume that is twice the usual after 7 months, you should see a doctor.

5. Medical abortion

Drugs disrupt the body's own hormone balance, which may lead to insufficient hormone secretion and hormone disorder. Patients may experience abnormal menstrual cycles, as well as dysmenorrhea, pain during sexual intercourse, decreased libido and other discomforts.

6. Others

In addition to the above reasons, environmental changes, excessive fatigue or mental stress can cause irregular menstruation. Generally, the symptoms can be significantly improved through self-adjustment. If irregular menstruation lasts for a long time, you should seek medical treatment in time.
