      Menstruation is every female The closest partner, however, many women only pay attention to their menstrual cycle, but often ignore the flow of their menstrual blood. If your originally regular menstruation suddenly becomes a flooded ocean, it often means that your period healthy If there is some kind of problem, you must be alert.
     
    How much menstrual flow is considered normal?


    Doctors believe that normal menstrual bleeding should be 20 to 60 ml. If it exceeds 80 ml, it is excessive menstrual flow. Based on the approximate usage of sanitary napkins, the normal usage is to replace them four or five times a day on average, with no more than two packs per cycle (each pack is calculated as 10 pieces).

    Taking women aged 25 to 40 as an example, abnormally increased vaginal bleeding is mainly related to the following seven factors:
      
    Factor 1: Improper contraceptive method


    Sometimes, abnormal vaginal bleeding is related to the type of birth control you are using. The most common "trouble" is Uterus Ringed. 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 particular, the new generation of active uterine rings with copper ions not only improves the contraceptive efficacy, but also increases the amount of menstrual bleeding.

    In addition, short-acting oral contraceptives often make menstruation more regular, reduce menstrual flow, and Dysmenorrhea alleviate. However, incorrect use can also cause hormone regulation disorders, resulting in abnormally increased menstruation. For example, if you do not take it according to the prescription, miss or take it incorrectly, it will lead to disorders of reproductive hormone levels in the body, affect the development of the endometrium, and cause abnormal bleeding.

    Women who use long-acting injections or subcutaneous implants for contraception often experience persistent, spotting bleeding, and sometimes the amount of bleeding accumulates to a large amount over time. This situation is mostly caused by the imbalance of external reproductive hormones in the body.

    Countermeasures: After placing the intrauterine device Menorrhagia Solutions include taking oral medications, switching to another form of birth control, or switching to an IUD that contains progesterone, which reduces menstrual flow.

    Although oral contraceptive pills can be purchased in ordinary pharmacies, if you want to use this method of contraception, it is not enough to read the prescription information of the drug in detail. Before purchasing, you must consult a professional doctor to learn more about its indications and contraindications, the correct method of taking it, and remedial measures in case of missed doses.

    Although many women have been told that similar situations will occur when they choose long-acting injections or subcutaneous implants for contraception, if the situation does not gradually improve as time goes by, or becomes more serious, they should go to a follow-up consultation in time and ask a doctor to re-evaluate whether they are suitable for this method of contraception.
