Menstruation lasting over ten days during adolescence may be caused by certain gynecological conditions. When women have organic diseases, their menstrual cycles may also be affected. In addition, uterine abnormalities can lead to prolonged menstruation; conditions such as endometrial cancer, endometrial polyps, adenomyosis, and uterine fibroids may cause continuous menstrual bleeding. Another possible cause is endocrine disorders, which can disrupt hormonal balance in women and result in persistent menstruation. It is recommended to visit a正规 hospital for appropriate medical evaluation.
