What are the consequences of excessive menstrual flow?

1. Blood clots

If you experience large blood clots, your clothes and bed sheets often get soiled, you need to use extra-large sanitary napkins, and you experience dizziness, it means you are bleeding too much. When there is no ovulation and the menstrual flow is too little or has not come for too long, the endometrium becomes very thick and unstable because it is not completely shed, and when it is shed, it will cause a large amount of menstrual flow. If a lot of blood is lost in an instant, the body will not be able to support it and the person may faint, which is very dangerous. If you have excessive menstrual flow for a long time and the condition becomes more serious with age, you should consider whether you have uterine fibroids, uterine adenomas, or abnormal blood coagulation function. When uterine fibroids grow in the uterine cavity or close to the endometrium, they can cause excessive menstrual bleeding.

2. Cause anemia

Women with excessive menstrual flow often have obvious anemia due to excessive menstrual blood loss during menstruation. During and after menstruation, there are often symptoms of palpitations, general weakness, back pain, leg pain, insomnia and nightmares. People are also prone to colds and fatigue.
