What is the reason for having more than one menstrual period in a month?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why does menstruation last more than a month?

Doctor's answer:

Menstrual bleeding usually lasts for 3 to 7 days, and if it exceeds 10 days, it is considered prolonged menstruation. This condition is often caused by endocrine disorders or gynecological infections. Common causes include: catching a cold, fatigue, IUD insertion, gynecological inflammation, uterine fibroids, abnormal endometrium, etc. It is recommended to visit a gynecological clinic for tests of six sex hormones and ultrasound after the bleeding stops to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to keeping warm and resting during menstruation. Hemostatic drugs may be used if necessary.
