Disease description:

Heavy menstrual bleeding is a very common, but not entirely normal phenomenon. If this condition persists for a long time, it should be taken seriously to avoid more serious complications. Since menstruation is closely related to women's overall health and lifestyle, is heavy menstrual flow really a way of detoxification?

Heavy menstrual bleeding in women is not a form of detoxification. Menstrual flow is closely related to individual physical differences, diet, and hormonal levels. If hormonal changes cause thickening of the endometrium, it may lead to significantly increased menstrual bleeding. Uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, or endometrial cancer can also cause excessive bleeding. If there is heavy bleeding during every menstrual period, it is important to seek medical evaluation promptly to determine the underlying cause.
