Why is my menstrual cycle too long?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Menstruation is heavier during the first 1-3 days, then it becomes very light. Sanitary pads are sufficient, and it can last for a long time, taking about 5-6 days to completely finish. I would like to ask what this condition is and how it should be treated?
Medical history: 1-2 years
Previous diagnosis and treatment history and effectiveness: Took Jingangteng, which had some effect.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the main reason for menstrual abnormalities in girls who have experienced menarche is related to endocrine regulation disorders, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. After the ovaries ovulate, they can generally reach normal levels. The menstruation at this time is anovulatory menstruation, so there may be varying degrees of menstrual abnormalities. No treatment is needed. For heavy menstrual bleeding, medication to stop bleeding can be used to prevent the possibility of anemia.
It is recommended to see a doctor if necessary: If the bleeding does not decrease after 24 hours, and the amount of bleeding is large or extremely minimal, you should seek medical attention immediately.
