Abnormal menstrual bleeding is caused by factors such as endocrine disorders and gynecological diseases. Endocrine imbalances can lead to irregular menstruation; for example, staying up late, irregular sleep patterns, work or study-related stress, and prolonged psychological tension may disrupt the endocrine system, resulting in irregular bleeding. Uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, and adenomyosis can all cause women to experience heavy bleeding, prolonged menstrual periods, and dysmenorrhea during menstruation.
