What are the problems with excessive shedding of the endometrium during menstruation?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Menstruation is the process of the uterine lining shedding. It is normal for the uterine lining to shed more during menstruation. However, long-term excessive menstrual bleeding could be caused by infections, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, blood disorders, or functional abnormalities. It is recommended that you get an ultrasound and a check-up for the six sex hormones.
