Sometimes women during menstruation lose too much blood, it leads to the development of anemia. The reason for this condition in most cases are hormonal disorders. If their treatment as part of a treatment almost always assigned Dicynonum.

Abundant monthly - what causes it?

Heavy periods, if they do not continue more than a week, and do not cause any violations of a woman's body, are the norm and individual characteristics of women. Treatment to be menstrual bleeding, accompanied by other disorders or iron deficiency anemia. Typically, this month, which lasted more than 12 days in gynecology they are called menorrhagia.

Menorrhagia often develop during the formation or phasing out of the menstrual cycle, that is, during adolescence or during menopause. The cause of these disorders is usually a breach in the system of the cerebral cortex - the hypothalamus - pituitary - ovary. This system is responsible for the hormonal support of the menstrual cycle, ie the fertility of women.

In some cases the cause of menorrhagia are tumors of the uterus (including fibroids), endometriosis, and so on, as well as blood coagulation disorders not related to gynecological diseases. Sometimes menorrhagia Menorrhagia (menorrhagia) - excessive blood loss   It occurs against the backdrop of neuroses, in which case they are accompanied by a change in behavior, headaches, sleep disturbances Dreams: how to understand our dreams   and other characteristic symptoms of neurosis.

General principles for the diagnosis and treatment of heavy menstrual period

The main thing - is to identify and eliminate the cause of menorrhagia. To this end, we investigate hormonal woman, identified the possible inflammatory processes, tumors, endometriosis Endometriosis - a serious problem with serious consequences   and so on. Held ultrasound genitals, if necessary - x-ray and endoscopic (using optical equipment).

According to the survey is assigned a complex treatment, which includes Dicynonum, which in this case is of secondary importance.

How does Dicynonum a heavy menstrual period

Dicynonum - a drug that stops the bleeding stimulating platelet production, their exit from the bone marrow, promoting their aggregation (accumulation in disorders of blood vessel walls) and adhesion (sticking to the walls of blood vessels), as well as enhancing their activity and life expectancy bloodstream. Dicynonum restores vascular permeability, reduces the fragility of capillaries and improves blood circulation in them.

It increases endurance capillaries to various influences and reduces their fragility.

This reduces the permeability of the walls of large and small vessels and to prevent capillary bleeding. And because of bleeding during menstruation is largely dependent on the state of capillaries, Dicynonum able to significantly reduce the loss of blood, which in turn is the prevention of iron deficiency anemia.

As prescribed Dicynonum during menstruation

With abundant monthly Dicynonum designate the interior of the tablet 250 mg 3-4 times a day, starting from the fifth day of menstruation for 10 days. If you need to continue treatment, the dose is usually reduced.

The daily dose can be divided into four one-time admission. When this calculation is usually a single dose of 250-500 mg (1-2 tablets), which can take up to four times a day. Sometimes require increased doses of the drug in such a case, the doctor may prescribe a maximum of three tablets (750 mg) four times per day.

Do Dicynonum contraindications and side effects?

Despite the fact that Dicynonum is non-toxic and fairly safe drug, it may appoint a doctor with all the indications and contraindications.

Contraindications for receiving it is the individual intolerance of components woman's body, an increased tendency to thrombosis (Dicynonum strengthen this process, which is very dangerous), acute violation of pigment metabolism, feeding baby Breastfeeding - a personal choice   breast and very low blood pressure.

Side effects are known Dicynonum nausea, discomfort in the stomach, headaches, dizziness, sensory disturbances of the lower extremities, lower blood pressure and flushing.

Dicynonum often used in heavy menstrual period, but after inspection, the establishment of a definitive diagnosis, and prescribed by a doctor.

In the body of each woman monthly cyclical changes occur that have an external manifestation in the form of menstruation. The whole process is controlled by a multi-level system of neuroendocrine relationships and synchronous operation of the main links of the system depends on the normal course of the cycle. Pathological effects at any level can cause disorders of the cycle. Restoration of the menstrual cycle depends on the proper establishment of the level of destruction and the necessary remedial measures.

The menstrual cycle in the postpartum period

Upon the occurrence of pregnancy in female menstrual function is temporarily interrupted, which is reduced for a certain period after birth. Not all women this process is the same, so it is important to understand what is normal and what is to be attributed to the disease. After delivery, women should pay attention to the following points:

• physiological condition is the absence of menstruation during the period when a woman is breastfeeding. It is observed only in the event that the child is fully breastfed without the introduction of complementary foods. This phenomenon is called lactation amenorrhea Lactational amenorrhea - the natural recovery of the body after birth   and at this time can not occur physiologically pregnancy. When the woman began to introduce solid foods into the diet Introduce solid foods - how not to be mistaken with a choice of products?   and the food is a mixed or wholly artificial, her menstrual function restored and comes menstruation
• the recovery process of the menstrual cycle after birth takes place without singularities in the event that the birth was not complicated, and throughout the postpartum period was smooth. Inflammatory processes in the uterus (puerperal endomyometritis) is the cause of violations on the part of the menstrual function - periods is complicated by the occurrence of missing or prolonged spotting
• in some cases, menstrual function disorders after birth manifested in the form of long delays (development opso- and oligomenorrhea) amid the changes of the thyroid and other body systems .  The woman draws attention to fatigue, weakness, chilliness, headache .  All these complaints are combined with changes in the duration of menstruation .  In some cases, menstrual function may eventually stop .  This condition is the result of complications that arose in women during childbirth (postpartum hemorrhage possledstvie) .  The degree of clinical manifestations of violations of the menstrual and reproductive function depends on the damage of the central parts of the brain that occurs on a background of blood loss .  In the ovaries there is a significant decrease in hormonal activity, leading in some cases to anovulatory infertility

Every woman in the postpartum period must monitor their state of health and lead menstrual calendar. Be sure to visit the doctor for follow-up visit when completed early postpartum period (this is the first 6-8 weeks after birth). This will allow time to identify possible violations of the cycle and make the necessary treatment.

The effects of functional disorders of the central-level regulation

The central link regulating the neuroendocrine system is given a leading role in the regulation of the menstrual cycle. It is at the level of the central parts of the brain is synthesized substances that determine the secretion of key hormones. The appearance of functional disorders in the hypothalamus-pituitary detects subsequent change in the menstrual cycle. A good example of such violations can be called the consequences of significant decrease in body weight. With this problem often encountered in adolescence, when girls have the goal to lose weight and achieve this exhausting diets or starvation. Also to such methods of weight loss have resorted girls who work in the modeling industry, where they are required some performance loss. For teens, the "struggle" against excess weight may develop into a mental illness Mental illness - ashamed to ask for help? So important for parents to closely monitor the health of the daughter .  One of the first signs of the onset of the disease is the occurrence of menstrual disorders .  Menstrual function first reacts to the loss of adipose tissue .  This is due to the fact that the female body there is an additional source of the synthesis of sex hormones, and it is in the adipose tissue .  If a girl loses weight of about 15% or more, it changes the regularity of menstruation, they come with a delay of two to three months .  Over time, the menstrual function may stop and develops amenorrhea, when menstruation absent for more than six months .  In order to restore the menstrual cycle should be carried out joint work with a nutritionist and a psychologist, because of the power of normalization and improvement of the psychological state of the patient depends on how quickly the normalization violations occur .

Similar changes in the cycle can be observed against the background of a woman with chronic psychogenic stress How to beat stress? Create an oasis , After suffering emotional turmoil, with prolonged exposure to excessive mental and physical stress. Menstruation may be rare, delayed more than 35 days. After eliminating the influence of negative emotional factor with the time cycle is restored without further medical correction. Menstrual cycle can vary from physical overload, which are associated with significant emotional and volitional voltage. Menstruation stops suddenly while joining psychoneurotic symptoms. Recovery cycle occurs after excluding the effect of the causal factor.
