What is the reason for heavy menstrual flow at night?

For women, if the menstrual flow is heavy at night during menstruation, it is generally related to irregular menstruation. In addition, you should also be alert to some gynecological diseases. Once you have some gynecological diseases, it may also cause such phenomena, such as some organic lesions, uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, etc. In addition, abnormal endometrial hyperplasia, chronic gynecological inflammation, etc., are prone to cause such symptoms.

What to do if your menstrual flow is heavy at night

Women with heavy menstrual flow can use thickened sanitary napkins at night, and can use a urine-proof pad for older children when sleeping. The bigger the better, so there is no need to worry about getting urine on the bed. Menstruation is a barometer of women's health. Under normal circumstances, the amount of bleeding each time is about 20 to 60 ml. If it exceeds 80 ml, it is excessive menstrual flow, which is a pathological state. If excessive menstrual flow has caused anemia, it can basically be considered a pathological condition.

Common organic causes of excessive menstrual flow are:

1. Organic uterine lesions, the most common of which are uterine fibroids and adenomyosis; 2. Abnormal endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial polyps are also common causes of menorrhagia; 3. Gynecological inflammation: Chronic gynecological inflammation can cause pelvic congestion, which in turn leads to increased menstrual volume; 4. Systemic diseases: such as aplastic anemia, pernicious anemia, leukemia, chronic liver disease, coagulation disorders, hypothyroidism, etc. can all cause increased menstrual volume; 5. Inability to adapt to the intrauterine contraceptive ring can also cause menorrhagia or prolonged menstruation. Women with heavy menstrual flow are advised to go to the hospital to see a gynecologist for diagnosis and treatment to see if they have any disease. If the above reasons are excluded as causes of excessive menstrual flow, it is most likely dysfunctional uterine bleeding (abbreviated as "dysfunctional uterine bleeding"), which is the endocrine disorder we are familiar with. If it is confirmed to be dysfunctional uterine bleeding, it can be treated and endocrine treatment can be performed under the guidance of a doctor. For example, we often use short-acting contraceptives to help regulate menstruation. If the menorrhagia is caused by organic lesions, corresponding treatment is required.

What to eat to regulate excessive menstrual flow

It is generally believed that the appropriate menstrual volume is 30 to 80 ml, and more than 100 ml is considered menorrhagia. And menorrhagia is a common and frequently occurring gynecological disease. Its clinical characteristics are that the menstrual volume is significantly increased compared to normal, while the menstrual cycle and menstrual period are still basically normal. Excessive menstruation, which is equivalent to ovulatory functional uterine bleeding in modern medicine, can also be caused by uterine fibroids and adenomyosis. It can also be caused by other systemic diseases, such as blood diseases. In addition, malignant transformation and other situations should also be considered for middle-aged and elderly women. Therefore, patients with menorrhagia should be diagnosed first. On the basis of confirmed diagnosis, modern medical methods can be used for treatment, while traditional Chinese medicine or food therapy can also be used.
