Patient's question:
Suddenly without any warning, Aunt Flo's flow has increased significantly, and the duration of the menstrual period is also longer than usual. I don't know what factor could have caused this? In just seven days, I want to know how Aunt Flo could suddenly increase without any signs and why the menstrual period is shorter. What factors could cause Aunt Flo's flow to suddenly increase?Doctor's answer:
Excessive menstrual bleeding and a prolonged menstrual period are common in conditions such as functional uterine bleeding, uterine fibroids, chronic endometritis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Severe anemia and coagulation disorders can also lead to this issue. Due to the large volume of bleeding and prolonged duration, the risk of infection may increase. It is recommended that you visit a gynecological department in a hospital in the county for an ultrasound examination to thoroughly investigate the condition of your uterus and determine the underlying cause for symptomatic treatment. Currently, it is important to avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as cold foods, and to have appropriate rest.
