The common causes of menstrual period after age 40
According to the doctor, Dr. Nidhi Khera, a gynecologist at the Cloudnine Hospital system, New Delhi (India), a lot of menstrual periods with blood clots after the age of 40 often originated from the pre -menopause - the time when the hormone wavered strongly, the cycle became erratic. "During this time, the lining of the uterus can accumulate too much and peel off with large amounts of blood, accompanied by blood clots," she analyzed.
In addition to premenopause, uterine fibroids and endometriosis are also the leading culprits that cause this situation. Fibroids increase the area of the lining of the uterus, causing more bleeding and easy to form blood clots. Meanwhile, endometriosis causes the uterine lining to develop the wrong position, causing pain and menstruation.
Hormonal imbalance, especially the decrease in progesterone, causes estrogen to stimulate the mucosa to grow thick, then massively peel off.
Treatment method
Treatment of menstruation after age 40 depends on the cause and condition of the patient. First of all, changing the lifestyle plays an important role: strengthening iron -rich foods such as spinach, lentils, raisins to avoid anemia; Combine exercise to regulate endocrine.
Medical, interventions such as uterine artery embolism, fibroid removal, or endometrial surgery can be considered if the condition is serious. For people with coagulation disorders, desmopressin (a synthetic drug similar to hormone vasopressin, used to control bleeding and treat coagulation disorders) can help control bleeding.
Dr. Nidhi Khera emphasized: "Don't overlook this symptom just because it is an age.
