Excessive menstrual bleeding requires prompt hemostasis. Heavy menstruation in women can not only lead to anemia but also cause severe shock. Women of childbearing age should promptly go to the hospital for diagnostic curettage, as this procedure can rapidly stop bleeding and remove the endometrial tissue from the uterine cavity. Pathological examination of the removed tissue helps determine the underlying cause of the bleeding. If adolescent girls exhibit the above symptoms, they should receive high-dose estrogen therapy under a doctor's guidance. In addition, adequate rest and reduced physical activity are essential during this time.
