Violation of the menstrual cycle - long go monthly

Violation of menstrual function is a rather complicated regulation of the endocrine and nervous system, which are in constant interaction. Menstruation is regulated by several systems:

1. The pituitary gland

2. Uterus

3. Appendages (ovaries)

4. The brain

5. Hypothalamus is the main vegetative center of the brain.

If the cycle fails, all these systems mismatches. It was revealed that 20% of women had a long period of time with gynecological pathologies. Less often, the violation of the monthly is diagnosed as an independent disease, for example, with dysfunctional uterine bleeding. There are many negative factors affecting the cycle:

· Psychiatric abnormalities or psychoemotional stress

· Obesity

· Depletion, often leads to amenorrhea

· Inadequate nutrition, lack of vitamins

Severe infectious diseases

· Harmful effects at work

Exacerbation of chronic diseases

· Postponed operations in the gynecological area

· Hereditary and chromosomal diseases

Inflammatory process of the reproductive system, oncology, endocrine gland problems, etc.

· Obtained injuries

· Climax

· Transitional age - it is noticed that during adolescence, long periods or a few days are long, it is associated with hormonal changes in the body.

Even with a normal cycle, a woman feels an ailment and weakness, and if the menstruation is long and profuse it affects the whole body. Prolonged menstruation with various disorders can last up to a month. Why do menstrual periods last? What to do in such a situation that causes bleeding?

To understand the main causes of bleeding, you need to know the mechanism of menstruation. The uterine cavity is lined with endometrium. In a healthy cycle, the body produces a female hormone - estrogen is it that promotes the growth of follicles in the appendages, in this connection the layer of the endometrium grows throughout the cycle. During the ovulation period, an additional hormone, progesterone, is produced. When the progesterone decreases, and the endometrial tissue layer separates, menstruation occurs - normally it lasts no more than a week, if this time exceeds, the doctor's help is needed.

When the periods go on for a long time, this deviation is called menorrhagia. At the same time there are regular heavy bleeding. Menorrhagia is caused by a number of reasons, ranging from a disorder of the uterus and ending with a violation of the level of hormones. The next more severe form of long menstruation is called hypermanorrhagia (several tampons or pads change per hour). The main causes: cervical or uterine hyperplasia, thickening of the endometrium, thyroid gland diseases, violation with the IUD, ectopic pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease.

If a long period of time passes, this may be due to a violation of ovulation. Changes in the ovaries lead to the fact that ovulation does not come on time (the months are delayed), during the cycle the ovaries produce estrogen, which causes a thickening of the endometrium. When all the critical days come , they are more prolonged and painful. Identify problems in the ovaries can only the gynecologist after the examination.

Long go monthly with diseases of the uterus: polyps, fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis. All these diseases increase bleeding and can lead to trauma to the tissues of the uterine cavity. Perhaps, prolonged menstruation does not come from the problem of female organs. Sometimes frequent bleeding from the nose or poor coagulation of blood is the cause of menorrhagia. Also, the use of anticoagulants has a negative effect on the female sexual sphere. Any abnormalities and changes in the menstrual cycle - an occasion to turn to a gynecologist for the prevention of dangerous diseases.
