7 Deadly Reasons For Heavy Periods Each Woman Must Know About!
Listed below are some of the most shocking causes for a heavy flow during your periods! Take a look and seek help if needed!
Have you been experiencing a heavy flow during your menstrual cycles for a few months now? If yes, then you must know about some of the shocking reasons for a heavy flow.
As it is, those few days in a month, where most women have to go through their periods, can be quite painful and uncomfortable, so imagine if this experience is coupled with a heavy flow! It can be quite problematic, right?
Well, as we know, menstrual periods are an inevitable part of a woman's life. In fact, it is a healthy phenomenon that each woman between the ages of 12 and 55 years must go through.
Menstrual periods occur every month and last for about 4-7 days. When the uterine lining of the woman sheds every month, she experiences vaginal bleeding, this process is called the mensuration cycle.
It is considered normal for a woman to bleed heavily for the first couple of days; however, if you feel that the bleeding is more than normal, and if the heavy flow lasts for more than 3 days, there could be a reason for concern.
Have a look at some of the shocking causes for heavy periods, here.
1. Uterine Fibroids
When there is a growth of non-cancerous tumours, known as uterine fibroids, in the uterus, it can cause heavy flow during the periods. Other symptoms of uterine fibroids include painful cramps, spotting between periods, etc.
2. Uterine Polyps
Uterine polyps is a grape-like growth in the uterus that can also cause heavy flow during the periods, irregular periods and even miscarriages, if not treated at the right time.
3. Endometrial Hyperplasia
Endometrial hyperplasia is a condition in which there is an overgrowth of the endometrial lining of the uterus, which is another reason for a heavy blood flow.
4. Von Willebrand Disease
Von Willebrand disease is a bleeding disorder in which the blood of the affected person lacks a certain kind of protein that can control the amount of bleeding, thereby resulting in a heavy flow.
5. Hormonal Imbalances
As menstrual periods are mostly triggered by hormones, if there is any imbalance in the progesterone and oestrogen levels, then it can also lead to heavy bleeding during periods.
6. Uterine Cancer
Heavy flow during periods can also be a symptom of deadly diseases like uterine cancer, so it is best to seek the advice of a professional in case you notice this.
7. Pelvic Infection
If your pelvis is infected or inflamed internally, due to various reasons, it can also affect the endometrial lining and therefore cause heavy bleeding.
