What causes short menstrual periods?

The normal menstrual period for women is 5 to 7 days. The amount of menstruation varies depending on the individual's physical condition, usually around 50 to 100 ml. Too short a period or too little menstrual volume are both considered irregular menstruation. The general causes of abnormalities are blood stasis and qi deficiency in women's bodies, endocrine imbalance, abnormal uterine development or uterine inflammation, etc. It may also be due to improper use of growth hormone drugs, external cold diet irritation and unclean daily living habits that affect the body and lead to irregular menstruation. You should search for the cause of the body as soon as possible, go to a regular hospital in time to do six hormone tests, uterine and ovarian ultrasound examinations and medication, and cooperate with a good life pattern and diet structure to prevent the aggravation of abnormalities.

A shorter menstrual period and less menstrual flow may be caused by a small uterus or a disorder in the body's estrogen metabolism. The normal menstrual period is 2-8 days, with an average of about 3-5 days, and the normal menstrual volume is between 2b250l and 6b250l. If the menstrual flow is too small and the menstrual period is relatively short, but it is within the above normal range, no special treatment is required.

If it is lower than the above normal range, it may be caused by some physiological reasons. A pelvic ultrasound should be performed to check the size of the uterus and the thickness of the uterine wall. In addition, you need to check the body's estrogen level on an empty stomach. It may be because the body's estrogen level is not high, resulting in poor endometrial hyperplasia and resulting in a thin endometrium, resulting in too little menstrual flow. This type of scanty menstrual flow can be regulated by emergency contraception or other estrogen drugs.

In fact, the normal menstrual cycle should be 28 days. A menstrual cycle shorter than 21 days is considered abnormal, and a menstrual cycle longer than 21 days is considered normal. The most normal menstrual cycle for women is 28 days, and an alternating period of 7 days is considered normal. If it is shorter than 21 days, it is generally an anovulatory period, which is abnormal and you should see a doctor to see if there is any endocrine imbalance. If it is 22-23 days, this is acceptable, but for many people, as the ovaries decrease, the menstrual cycle actually decreases gradually. In addition, many people have uterine fibroids, the main symptoms of which are heavy menstrual flow, long menstrual period, and shortened cycle time.

If the menstrual flow is small, it is another problem. Menstruation is caused by the changes in estrogen and progesterone in the body, which causes the uterine wall to fall off. If the uterine wall is too thin, it may cause small menstrual flow, or low estrogen levels may cause small menstrual flow. If it really affects the quality of life, or the menstrual cycle is getting shorter and shorter, with each menstrual period only coming for 1-2 days, you can go to the hospital appropriately to check the female hormones and the thickness of the endometrium. If there is any abnormality, treatment is needed, especially for women who have fertility requirements.
