Is it an illness when menstruation doesn't go away every time?

Patient's question:

I don't ovulate, and my period doesn't go away every time it comes. My period started on the 10th of this month, and I started taking medication on the fifth day. On the 23rd, there was blood on my pants, but I didn't realize it was my period and kept taking the medication. Today, the 29th, there's still blood. Should I continue taking it or stop? Should I wait five days to start taking Dian then, or continue taking it? This is the second box I'm on.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, excessive menstrual bleeding or prolonged duration is commonly seen in conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, endometrial hyperplasia, and endometriosis. If the examination does not reveal any organic lesions, functional uterine bleeding should be considered. This refers to abnormal uterine bleeding caused by endocrine regulatory system disorders, with no obvious organic lesions in the internal or external reproductive organs, and is the most common type of menstrual disorder. It is recommended to undergo a check-up to identify the underlying cause and seek timely treatment.
