Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon of women, and menstruation is a scalar indicator of menstrual disorders in women. There are two main manifestations of heavy menstruation: one is heavy bleeding, and the other is prolonged menstruation. Women with irregular menstruation need to be carefully managed, and they should maintain a good attitude during menstruation.

1: Heavy menstrual flow has two meanings: one is excessive bleeding (normal amount does not exceed 100 ml), the other is too long menstrual period (normal is within 7 days). Excessive menstrual flow seriously affects women's physical health, emotions, social activities and quality of life.

2: Excessive menstruation is often caused by irregular endometrial shedding and endometrial proliferation, or functional uterine bleeding, uterine fibroids, hemorrhagic diseases, liver dysfunction and other diseases, or is affected by external factors, such as not paying attention to menstrual hygiene, exposure to cold or heat, excessive mental stress and other reasons.
