Every month, women typically experience a normal menstrual flow of about 50 milliliters, usually not exceeding 100 milliliters. If the bleeding is excessive, exceeding 150 milliliters, or if there is irregular vaginal bleeding between periods, it is advisable to visit a gynecology clinic at the hospital.
Irregular bleeding can manifest in various ways:
1. Some experience sudden heavy bleeding, which can even lead to a state of shock.
2. Others have a continuous flow that persists from one month to the next, never fully stopping.
3. Irregular uterine bleeding can occur due to uterine tumors or inflammation, and it can also be a local manifestation of systemic bleeding disorders.
4. In addition, factors such as stress, changes in climate, malnutrition, and metabolic disorders can disrupt hormonal balance and result in irregular uterine bleeding.
Irregular uterine bleeding poses a significant risk to women, especially young girls. If there is a sudden large amount of blood and timely rescue measures are not taken, it can be life-threatening. If there is a continuous but minimal vaginal bleeding, it can cause chronic blood loss and anemia, severely impacting overall health and sometimes leading to complications.
While significant bleeding is usually taken seriously and prompt medical attention is sought, minimal continuous bleeding is often overlooked and not given proper attention. This, coupled with the hesitation to seek medical help, can delay the early diagnosis of certain diseases.
Therefore, once irregular bleeding during menstruation is noticed, it should not be taken lightly. Prompt medical consultation and treatment can restore normal menstrual cycles quickly.
