Why does menstruation last as short as 6 or 7 days or as long as 10 days?

Menstruation that is as short as 6, 7 to 10 days generally refers to irregular menstruation, which is caused by endocrine disorders, endometrial polyps, cervical polyps, etc.

1. Endocrine disorders: Endocrine disorders are usually caused by long-term mental stress or eating too much cold food during menstruation, which leads to abnormal secretion levels of some endocrine glands in the body, resulting in hormone imbalance, low estrogen levels, slow recovery of the endometrium, and symptoms such as menstruation, limb weakness, dizziness, etc. You need to take progesterone soft capsules, estradiol valerate tablets and estrogen tablets under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Endometrial polyps: Endometrial polyps are usually caused by excessive estrogen secretion due to certain factors. Excessive estrogen levels in the body lead to thickening of the endometrium. After a long period of hormone stimulation, the endometrium overgrows and forms polyps. After the disease occurs, symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding, prolonged menstruation, and menorrhagia will appear. Surgical methods such as hysteroscopic polypectomy, hysteroscopic polypectomy, and hysterectomy can be treated according to the doctor's advice.

3. Cervical polyps: Cervical polyps are usually caused by chronic vaginal inflammation. Long-term inflammatory stimulation of the cervix leads to excessive proliferation, which gradually protrudes outside the cervix to form polyps, and causes symptoms such as menstrual disorders, abnormal vaginal bleeding, and increased secretions. They can be treated with surgical methods such as polypectomy, cervical conization, and hysteroscopic resection as recommended by the doctor.

In addition to the above situations, it may also be caused by uterine adenomyosis. It is recommended to go to the hospital immediately to find out the cause and avoid delaying treatment.
