Every woman whose menstrual cycle is stable
and regular best knows herself how heavy her monthly period usually is. One
woman may experience very heavy and painful periods, but another — ones that
are more easily to live through. Therefore, it is hard to set a strong boundary
between normal and excessive bleeding: every woman should observe herself every
month and seek the help of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.vijaplume.lv/">a gynaecologist</a>
as soon as it seems that a period has become unusually heavy or differs from
the usual cycle in other ways.

Vija Plume</a> points to the signs that indicate that something is not right
and that you should see a gynaecologist without waiting for your regular yearly
appointment: 

· 
you get your period on the day of the menstrual cycle, when
it should not be happening

· 
your period occurs more
often than it is considered normal (the length of a menstrual cycle is
28 days on average)

· 
your period continues for longer
than it should (for more than 7 days)

· 
the heaviness of your period is higher than usual, meaning it exceeds
80 ml per day for several days in a row

Dr. Vija Plume brings attention to several
reasons that may cause menstrual irregularities and excessive bleeding of the
genital tract. Pathological bleeding of the uterus during a period and
before/after it may be a warning sign of the following problems: 

· 
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.1188.lv/iesaka/padomi/sapes-vedera-lejasdala-vai-sakt-satraukties-par-endometriozi-885">endometriosis</a> which is a condition
in which tissue similar to the endometrium — the internal layer of the uterus —
develops not just inside, but also outside of the uterine cavity — (if endometrial
tissue forms in the muscle layer of the uterus, it is also called adenomyosis)

· 
genital tract infections 

· 
uterine polyps

· 
uterine fibroid which is a non-cancerous muscle tissue tumour

· 
other pathologies of the
uterine cavity

· 
ovarian cysts — (both non-cancerous and cancerous ovarian cysts)

· 
other gynaecological
diseases the treatment of which should not be
delayed in any case. 

If menstrual bleeding is heavy, long or
frequent, anaemia may form which causes fatigue, weakness, inability to concentrate.
Women often think that they have become "lazy” or "old", when in
truth — they have bled out!

Of course, when encountering bleeding in
the middle of the menstrual cycle, for example, one should not panic because it
could simply indicate other types of diseases — hormonal imbalance, high blood
pressure (of which the woman herself may not be aware of) or an inflammation
caused by a cold. In any case — it is worthwhile to visit a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.vijaplume.lv/">gynaecologist</a> and find out the cause of
bleeding. Even if a heavy period is
normal for you, pay attention if a period seems heavier when compared to the
cycle up until now. While no menstrual period is pleasant, see a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.vijaplume.lv/">doctor</a> any time when having doubts about
the fact that this time something is definitely not right.
