menstruation blood

Some women may have experienced and felt the heavy bleeding during menstruation. Sometimes we often wonder if the bleeding was normal or not (heavy menstrual bleeding / menorrhagia).
Then how do we know that we experience, including bleeding is not normal? The easiest way is to record how often you change your pad or tampon. A person diagnosed with menorrhagia (heavy bleeding during menstruation), if during menstruation, must often mangganti dressing more than 1-2 hours, or if during the whole week we have a lot of bleeding.
The top ten causes of heavy bleeding during menstruation (menorrhagia):

   1. Hormone imbalance during adolescence or menopause is the most common cause. During adolescence after the arrival of menstruation for the first time, and for several years before menopause, fluctuating hormone levels that can result in heavy bleeding. Therefore, it is often possible to treat menorrhagia caused by hormonal imbalances with birth control pills or other hormones.
   2. Fibroid tumors in the uterus. Please note that fibroid tumors are benign and usually occur in their 30s or 40s yearly. Until now the cause is unclear. Some operations are available for treating fibroid tumors from myomectomy, endometrial ablation, uterine artery embalization, and uterine balloon therapy as well as hysterectomy. Non-surgical treatment of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists (GnRH), oral contraceptives, androgens, RU486 or mifepristone pills one type of abortion, and gestrinone. GnRH agonists are drugs that work against GnRH in the brain. Some women find natural treatments more effective. Once menopause occurs, the tumors typically shrink and disappear without treatment.
   3. Cervical polyp. Polyps are small, growing on the mucosal surface of the cervix, or in the endocervical channel and prominent on the mouth of the cervix. The cause is not yet clear, but often due to infection and is associated with abnormal response to increased estrogen levels or congestion of small blood vessels in the cervix. Most women who suffer from cervical polyps are aged 20 years and have had children. Usually treated with outpatient treatment.
   4. Endometrial polyps. He is not cancerous, growths that protrude from the uterus. The cause is not clear, however its presence is often associated with excess levels of estrogen or some types of ovarian tumors. Treatment is done by hysteroscopy and D & C. A pathology lab will evaluate endometrial polyp status, whether or not leading to cancer.
   5. Lupus disease. Lupus is a chronic inflammation in some parts of the body, especially the skin, joints, blood and kidneys and including autoimmune diseases. The Lupus Lupus is believed to have a genetic predisposition. Scientists believe that environmental factors, infections, antibiotics (penicillin and sulfa), UV light, severe stress, hormones and drugs in triggering disease symptoms. The symptoms among patients and the other varied, the treatment is done through stress to the treatment of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications or NSAIDS, acetaminophen, steroids, antimalarials, cytoxic or immunosuppressive drugs, and anticoagulants.
   6. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of one or more organs that affects the uterus, fallopian tubes, and cervix. PID is often caused by sexually transmitted infections. The recommended treatment for pelvic inflammatory disease is antibiotic therapy.
   7. Cervical cancer. Appear when cells in the cervix become abnormal and multiply out of control and destroy parts of a healthy body. Almost more than 90% of cervical cancers are caused by Human papillomavirus (HPV). Treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
   8. Endometrial cancer. Women who are convicted of endometrial cancer, generally aged over 50 years, never had hyperplasia of the endometrium, or the frequent use of hormone replacement therapy (hormone replacement therapy). The first treatment for removal of the uterus (hysterectomy), possibly followed by chemotherapy or radiation.
   9. Intrauterine devices (IUDs). Women who use IUDs at risk of bleeding during menstruation. When this happens immediately replace IUDs with other contraceptive methods are appropriate.
  10. Bleeding disorders. If the bleeding that arises is difficult to stop. The most common type of bleeding disorder von Willebrand factor causes disease (VWD).
