What is the reason for heavy menstrual flow?

1. Caused by neuroendocrine dysfunction

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

2. Caused by blood disease

Increased menstruation may not be a problem with the reproductive organs themselves, but a sign of a blood disease. Because menstruation, like other bleeding phenomena in the human body, is regulated by the body's own coagulation system. If there is an abnormality in the coagulation system, for example, in hemophilia patients who are born with a lack of a certain coagulation factor, the blood will not coagulate easily, resulting in heavy menstrual flow and prolonged bleeding. And menorrhagia is sometimes the only symptom of hemophilia in women! Other common blood diseases such as thrombocytopenic purpura, leukemia, aplastic anemia, etc., can also easily affect the coagulation system and increase menstrual flow. ...

Heavy menstruation

Normal sanitary napkin usage is to change four or five times a day on average

Many female friends will experience a situation where the amount of menstrual flow is heavier than usual, but everyone’s judgment criteria are different. How much menstrual flow is considered heavy? Doctors believe that normal menstrual bleeding should be 20-60 ml, and more than 80 ml is considered menorrhagia.

If we calculate it by quantity, it is difficult to measure. We can convert it based on the amount of sanitary napkins used. Roughly estimated, the normal dosage is to change it four or five times a day on average, with no more than 2 packs (10 tablets per pack) per cycle. If 3 packs of sanitary napkins are not enough and almost every sanitary napkin is soaked, it means that the menstrual flow is too heavy. Of course, menorrhagia refers not only to heavy menstrual volume, but also to more frequent days and more frequent periods in a month, which are also signs of menorrhagia that require vigilance!
