Patient's question:
Currently 53 years old, she still has her monthly period. The period is long and heavy, lasting about 10 days each time. Sometimes it lasts even longer, requiring her to take medication to stop bleeding. Some doctors have suggested it could be menopausal syndrome. She is still using an IUD. Could there be other reasons?Doctor's answer:
Hello, excessive menstrual flow or prolonged duration is commonly seen in conditions such as endometrial polyps, endometrial hyperplasia, uterine fibroids, and endometriosis. If no organic lesions are found during examination, it should be considered whether it is functional uterine bleeding. However, abnormal uterine bleeding caused by endocrine regulatory system disorders is the most common reason for excessive menstrual flow.
