　　The most common genital tumor among women of childbearing age is uterine fibroids . The incidence of uterine fibroids is very high, reaching 20% ​​to 25%, but please don’t be afraid, because 99.5% of them are benign. cause Menorrhagia There are only two types of uterine fibroids that are common: intermuscular and submucosal.

　　2. Endometriosis

　　Simply put endometriosis It means that the tissue that should originally grow in the lining of the uterine wall appears in other locations. These "ectopic" endometrium interfere with various normal functions of the reproductive organs and are often accompanied by various Menstrual disorders ——Prolonged menstruation, excessive menstrual bleeding, premenstrual spotting, secondary Dysmenorrhea etc.

　　3. Blood diseases

　　Increased menstruation may not be a problem with the reproductive organs themselves, but a sign of a blood disease. Menstruation, like other bleeding phenomena in the human body, is regulated by its own coagulation system. If there is an abnormality in the coagulation system, such as a congenital lack of a certain coagulation factor, hemophilia For patients, the blood does not clot easily, resulting in heavy menstrual flow and long bleeding time.

　　4. Infection

　　Inflammation of the reproductive organs is another common cause of abnormal vaginal bleeding. We all know that the female reproductive organ is not completely sealed. The semi-open passage between it and the outside world gives it the opportunity to be invaded by various pathogenic factors from the outside world.

　　5. Miscarriage or abnormal pregnancy

　　Abnormal vaginal bleeding in mature women is sometimes related to pregnancy complications. If your menstruation is usually very on time, but it is late for more than a week or more than ten days for no reason, then it will flow like a floodgate, mixed with more blood clots or tissue than usual, and it will last longer than usual. Then this is most likely a small miscarriage.

　　Similar events more often occur after artificial abortion (whether surgical or medical abortion), especially after medical abortion, there is a 5% to 10% chance of failed abortion or incomplete abortion. In addition, if there is increased vaginal bleeding, palpitation, dizziness, cold sweats, abdominal pain or even syncope, it may be a sign of ectopic pregnancy.

　　6. Improper contraceptive methods

　　Sometimes, abnormal vaginal bleeding is related to the type of birth control you are using. The most common "trouble" is the IUD. In our country, this is the most common contraceptive method used by women after childbirth. The most prominent problems it brings are shortened menstrual cycles, prolonged menstrual periods, significantly increased menstrual volume, and postmenstrual bleeding.

　　In addition, short-acting oral contraceptives can often make your periods more regular, less heavy, and less painful. However, incorrect use can also cause hormone regulation disorders, resulting in abnormally increased menstruation. For example, failure to take it according to the prescribed information, missing or taking the wrong dose, etc. can lead to disorders of reproductive hormone levels in the body, affecting the development of the endometrium and causing abnormal bleeding.

　　There are also women who use long-acting injections or subcutaneous implants for contraception. What they most often experience is not a large amount of vaginal bleeding, but continuous, spot-like bleeding. Sometimes the amount of bleeding accumulates to a large amount due to prolongation of time. This situation is mostly due to the unbalanced effects of external reproductive hormones in your body.

　　7. Abnormal function

　　If none of the above is your problem, it’s time to consider the possibility of dysfunction. This is the case of endocrine disorders that many people often mention, but everyone's situation will be different. For example, a professional doctor can distinguish what type of hormone level imbalance it is and its possible causes based on your different menstrual volume, basal body temperature measurement, measurement of reproductive hormones in the blood, combined with diagnostic dilation and curettage, ultrasound scan, MRI and other auxiliary examinations, and then provide targeted treatment.

　　If you often have symptoms such as irregular menstruation, frequent or intermittent menstruation, irregular menstrual periods, premenstrual spotting, etc., and no other obvious reasons can be found, then it is likely that abnormal function is at play.
