Why is the menstrual flow less than before?

Although some girls will suffer from menstrual cramps during their period, if there are any other abnormal phenomena during the menstrual period, they still need to pay attention to it. Because the menstrual period has a great influence on the physical condition of girls, so when there are abnormalities during the menstrual period, they need to be improved in time. So why is the menstrual flow less this time than before?

Why is my menstrual flow less than before?

Women have their periods because after the withdrawal of estrogen and progesterone in the body, the endometrium is shed and mixed blood is discharged into the vagina. Generally, normal menstrual volume is between 20 and 60 ml, and the normal menstrual cycle is about 28 to 30 days. Due to the influence of external factors such as staying up late, work pressure, changes in environmental factors, and emotions, changes in the menstrual cycle or menstrual volume may occur. The amount of menstruation this time is just less than before. It may be caused by factors such as the external environment. No special treatment is needed. If the amount is very small, for women who have sex, they should consider whether it is abnormal bleeding caused by pregnancy rather than real menstruation.

Women's menstrual period will be affected by many factors, such as women's mood, staying up late, diet and taking medicines, which can easily lead to disorders of women's endocrine function and affect menstruation. If the menstrual flow is very light and significantly less than before, the main consideration is that it is caused by a decrease in the level of estrogen in the body. Estrogen stimulates the endometrium to proliferate and thicken, and the proliferating endometrium falls off to produce menstruation. The main reason for a small amount of menstrual flow is that the uterine wall is less susceptible to estrogen and the endometrium is thinner, resulting in a small amount of menstrual flow. For this type of situation, it is recommended to go to the hospital outpatient department to check six hormones and endocrine conditions to see if it is caused by a decrease in female hormones in the body.

What to do if your menstrual flow is heavy?

Blood clots during menstruation are a common symptom of irregular menstruation, most of which are caused by endocrine imbalance. Blood clots are generally caused by bleeding due to the falling of the uterine wall. Bleeding is heavy and the bleeding speed is faster, which can easily turn into blood clots. In addition, blood clots can also appear if you catch a cold during menstruation. If there are blood clots for a long time, this is likely caused by uterine fibroids, uterine intrauterine polyps, endometriosis, etc. You can take Qizhi Xiangfu Pills, Motherwort Paste, Fuke Qianjin Tablets and analgesic capsules for treatment. Usually, you should pay attention to regulating your emotions, avoid excessive fluctuations, and maintain a good mood; pay attention to arranging your time reasonably and avoid excessive exercise; pay attention to supplementing nutrients, supplement more protein, vitamins, iron and calcium, etc.; be sure to avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation.

There are many reasons for heavy menstruation with blood clots, the most common ones are: abnormal uterine bleeding due to imbalanced function, such as anovulatory abnormal uterine bleeding and irregular uterine wall shedding caused by metabolic imbalance, which may cause heavy menstruation with blood clots; some gynecological diseases, such as pelvic inflammation, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, etc. can also cause heavy menstruation with blood clots. It is recommended to go to a reliable tertiary hospital for gynecological treatment, complete relevant examinations such as gynecological color ultrasound and estrogen, in order to determine the current situation and cooperate closely with treatment. In addition, it is recommended to avoid taking nourishing foods containing hormone drugs to replenish qi and blood as much as possible, eat a balanced diet, avoid eating cold foods during menstruation, and keep warm.
