Why is my period so light in color?

Key reminder: There are many reasons for light menstrual flow and pale color, which may be caused by endocrine imbalance, gynecological inflammation or anemia. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it may be a manifestation of kidney deficiency or dampness in the body. If the menstrual flow is less and the color of the menstrual blood is too light, it may cause premature menopause and may also cause infertility and other conditions. If the patient finds that the menstrual period is abnormal, he or she should go to the hospital as soon as possible to do some relevant examinations.

Nowadays, the incidence of gynecological diseases in women is very high. If you don't pay attention, it is easy to cause the occurrence of diseases. Every woman has her first menstruation. In addition to blood, the menstruation also contains a small amount of uterine wall tissue and cervical mucus fragments. Therefore, the color of women's menstrual blood is generally dark red. However, some women find that their menstrual blood is lighter and dark red. So, what is the reason why the color of menstruation is a little light? This question will be described in detail below.

First of all, Western medicine believes that women's menstrual period is mainly regulated by the changes in hormones between the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and uterus and ovaries. But Chinese medicine believes that the normality of women's menstruation is closely related to liver function tests. If the liver is stagnant, the menstrual period will be irregular, the menstrual period and menstrual volume will be unstable, and symptoms such as breast pain, chest tightness, shortness of breath, depression will occur, and the color of the menstrual blood will gradually become lighter. In addition, the color of menstruation is a little light, which is related to the deficiency often mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine, such as qi deficiency. Most women's qi is acquired, and if they are tired at work, they will lose a lot of energy. Female Qi deficiency can cause women's menstrual flow to increase and the color to become lighter. In addition, it may also manifest as symptoms such as pale complexion, dizziness and weakness of the limbs. These symptoms will appear one after another.

Secondly, most of the deficiency of qi and blood is caused by poor diet, bad mentality, excessive blood loss and other reasons. If women have deficiency of qi and blood, their complexion will become pale and dull, and they will experience dizziness and palpitations. It can also cause irregular menstruation, decreased menstrual volume, fading of menstrual period, and even amenorrhea. In addition, women may also suffer from kidney deficiency. Female kidney deficiency is caused by a variety of reasons, such as excessive sexual activity, multiple miscarriages, etc. In addition to causing the color of menstrual blood to become lighter, it may also cause irregular menstruation such as amenorrhea. Women may also continue to suffer from symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, memory loss, insomnia, and pain in the waist and knees.

In general, we know why the color of menstrual blood is a little light. Women's menstruation is closely related to the kidney function of the human body, and is also related to the deficiency of Qi and blood. If a woman has spleen deficiency and kidney deficiency, she will age quickly, and will also have weakness in the limbs, shortness of breath, laziness, thinning or edema and obesity. Of course, it also affects the menstrual period, making the menstrual volume less and the color lighter. Therefore, if women find that their menstrual period is irregular, they should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and in their daily life, they should supplement more nutrients in their diet, pay attention to a reasonable schedule, and avoid overwork.
