My aunt is still bleeding after seven days of menstruation

Everyone has a different reaction to menstruation. Some women have no reaction at all, while some have unbearable abdominal pain. Some people have their periods quite regularly, while others have their periods late or early. In fact, the amount of menstruation also varies from person to person. Some people have a long duration and a large amount of menstruation, while others have a short duration and a small amount of menstruation. So what's going on if there is still blood after seven days of menstruation?

There are many reasons for prolonged menstruation, such as uterine fibroids, endometritis, uterine dysfunctional bleeding, ovarian disease, endocrine disorders, etc. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for B-ultrasound and hormone level tests to determine the cause and treat the symptoms.

The menstrual period is generally 3 to 7 days. The menstrual volume is 20 to 120 ml. It is dark red. If it is not within this normal range, it is considered irregular menstruation. Uterine diseases, ovarian, pituitary, hypothalamic dysfunction, etc. can cause menstrual disorders. In addition, emotions, drugs, diet, stress, environment, endocrine disorders, etc. can also cause irregular menstruation. In your case, it is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant gynecological examinations such as B-ultrasound, and then symptomatic treatment according to the specific situation.

It is recommended to go to the endocrinology department for a consultation and check the levels of six sex hormones. You can try to take some Chinese medicine to regulate endocrine disorders, such as motherwort, angelica, codonopsis, etc. It is also recommended to maintain a good rest, do not eat too irritating food, eat more light food, avoid eating raw and cold food, and pay attention to keeping warm and clean.

It is recommended to limit salt in the diet (to prevent water retention in the body), red meat (animal fat increases the amount of estrogen and may cause premenstrual syndrome), reduce dairy product intake (lactose hinders the absorption of magnesium in the body), reduce any sugar (sweets cause anxiety and mood swings, cause water retention, and more importantly, make you fat), processed food, junk food and fast food.

Generally speaking, Chinese medicine conditioning is to expel uterine cold and release the blood stasis in the uterus. Just pay attention and don't worry too much.
