The normal menstrual cycle is 22-35 days, with an average of 28 days. Under normal circumstances, it is normal for menstruation to be advanced or delayed for about a week.

There are many factors that cause the menstrual cycle to become longer, which can be divided into the following categories: abnormal central nerve hypothalamus; Pituitary abnormality refers to the abnormal secretion of gonadotropin caused by pituitary lesions, including congenital factors and acquired lesions; Ovarian abnormalities menstrual abnormalities are caused by congenital ovarian dysplasia or abnormal ovarian function or secondary lesions. Specific reasons may be:

1. Endometriosis: This is often caused by excessive menstrual cycle or prolonged menstrual period due to affecting the contraction of myometrium or endometrial enhancement. The placement of birth control device is also easy to cause prolonged menstruation.

2. Uterine leiomyoma: especially submucosal leiomyoma, due to the expansion of uterine cavity, its contraction is abnormal, which can lead to excessive menstrual cycle and long menstrual period.

3. Uterine dysfunctional bleeding: such as anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding and irregular shedding of endometrium, menstrual period is prolonged due to endocrine dysfunction.

4. Chronic uterine hypertrophy: due to pelvic congestion, ovarian estrogen continues to increase, resulting in hypertrophy of uterine myometrium, resulting in excessive menstrual cycle and long menstrual period.

Pelvic inflammation, intrauterine femoral polyps and uterine inflammation all cause excessive menstrual cycle and prolonged menstruation due to poor intrauterine femoral blood circulation, degeneration and necrosis or pelvic congestion.

5. Blood diseases: such as thrombocytopenic purpura and aplastic anemia, which are often accompanied by menstrual cycle. If there is serious uterine bleeding, the menstrual period will be prolonged. Others, such as chronic anemia, chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and nephritis, can make the blood vessel wall fragile, increase the permeability and cause bleeding.

1. Keep the spirit happy and avoid mental stimulation and emotional fluctuation. It is normal for individuals to have lower abdominal distension, low back acid, breast pain, mild diarrhea, easy fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability or depression during menstruation, and there is no need to be too nervous.

2. Pay attention to hygiene and prevent infection. Pay attention to the sanitation and cleanliness of external genitalia. Never have sexual intercourse during menstruation. Keep warm and avoid cold stimulation. Avoid overwork. Those with heavy menstrual blood should avoid brown sugar.

3. Underwear should be soft and cotton, with good ventilation performance. They should be washed and changed frequently. The changed underwear should be dried in the sun.

4. Do not eat raw, cold, sour and spicy food. Drink more boiled water to keep the stool unobstructed. Those with blood fever should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables before menstruation, and avoid stimulating fire transportation such as scallion, garlic, leek and ginger. People with Qi and blood deficiency must increase nutrition at ordinary times, such as milk, eggs, soybean milk, pig liver, spinach, pork, chicken, mutton, etc. they should avoid raw and cold melons and fruits.

Blood diseases: such as thrombocytopenic purpura and aplastic anemia, often accompanied by menstrual cramps. If there is severe uterine bleeding, the menstrual period will be prolonged. Others, such as chronic anemia, chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and nephritis, can make the blood vessel wall fragile, increase the permeability and cause bleeding. Uterine dysfunctional bleeding: such as anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding and irregular shedding of endometrium, menstrual period is prolonged due to endocrine dysfunction.

Endometriosis: it often affects the contraction of uterine myometrium or leads to excessive menstruation or prolonged menstruation due to endometrial enhancement. Pelvic inflammation: pelvic inflammation, intrauterine femoral polyps and endometritis all cause menorrhagia and prolonged menstruation due to poor blood circulation, degeneration and necrosis or pelvic congestion. Chronic uterine hypertrophy (myositis): due to pelvic congestion, ovarian estrogen continues to increase, resulting in hypertrophy of uterine myometrium, resulting in excessive menstruation and prolonged menstruation. Uterine leiomyoma: especially submucosal leiomyoma, due to the expansion of uterine cavity area, its contraction is abnormal, which can lead to excessive menstruation and long menstrual period.
