Brief Analysis of Short Menstrual Period and Low Menstrual Volume in Women

Women's menstruation is an issue that everyone cares about and is often discussed or complained about among female friends. Although it occurs every month and most of the time it does not have much impact on life and work, whether it is regular and whether the amount is normal is one of the signs of physical health. So, today we will focus on the problem of short menstrual period and small amount, hoping to give you some reference.

It is generally believed that menstrual volume less than 30 ml is equivalent to scanty menstruation in Western medicine. The menstrual cycle is normal, the menstrual flow is very little, or even just a little. There are also cases where the menstrual period is shortened to less than two days and the menstrual flow is also very little. These are the key points for the diagnosis of this disease. This disease is often a precursor to amenorrhea. Oligomenorrhea may be associated with menstrual cycle abnormalities, such as scanty early or late menstruation.

If oligomenorrhea is caused by oral contraceptives or intramuscular contraceptive injections, the medication should be stopped and the disease can be treated according to the discussion and treatment of this disease. The diagnosis of oligomenorrhea generally refers to two or more consecutive occurrences. If a woman has had normal menstruation but suddenly has less menstruation, she should be aware of whether it is a sign of threatened miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy or a small amount of vaginal bleeding due to ectopic pregnancy. Further examinations are necessary to differentiate between the two.

Generally speaking, light menstrual blood flow is caused by low estrogen levels. Estrogen stimulates the thickening of the endometrium in preparation for conception. If conception does not occur, the proliferating endometrium will shed and bleed to form menstruation. Low estrogen levels in the body can cause the endometrium to not grow thick enough and result in less bleeding during menstruation, which can affect conception in the future.

If the amount of menstrual blood continues to be too small after the menstrual cycle stabilizes, and it is not caused by nutritional deficiencies, and at the same time, it is found that the body development is not ideal, such as the breasts and buttocks are not obviously raised, you should be alert and go to the hospital as soon as possible to check the estrogen level. If you find that your estrogen level is low, you need to find out the reason. Most of the time, it is caused by diseases of the endocrine system.

Through the above analysis, we can know that for female friends, regular work and rest schedules will affect the regularity of menstruation. In addition, we would like to remind everyone that although there are many varieties of contraceptives now, the claimed effectiveness is guaranteed and there are few side effects, we can only believe them in general. They will definitely have an impact on women's menstruation. It is recommended to use other contraceptive measures as much as possible instead of taking medicine.
