Menstruation is one of the important indicators of female reproductive health. The monthly menstrual period is affectionately called "period" by women.

The nature of menstruation is changeable and unpredictable. Sometimes it comes very strongly, making people a little uncontrollable; sometimes it suddenly becomes less and less. In most cases, people think she is inconvenient, and in less cases, people worry that she is inconvenient. Women are such inconvenient people. Even when the menstrual flow is small, you must not ignore it and need to take care of it.

How do you know if your menstrual flow is light?

Experts point out that low menstrual flow does not affect the normal menstrual cycle, but is a situation in which the amount of menstrual flow is significantly reduced during each menstrual period. Normal menstrual flow is generally maintained between 50-60ml. If the menstrual flow is less than 10ml each time every month or so little that even the double-layer toilet paper cannot be wet, it can be judged as a low menstrual flow.

Small menstrual flow may be caused by bad habits or may be a sign of disease data

Modern women are under too much work pressure and pursue perfection by considering thinness as beauty. Therefore, long-term excessive work and rest schedules lead to poor rest, weak liver blood, and small menstrual flow; fasting to lose weight becomes one of the most effective ways, but it can also cause endocrine disorders and small menstrual flow; bad mood caused by mental stress and excessive mood fluctuations caused by anger can also lead to irregular menstruation.

In addition, scanty menstrual flow may also be a precursor to many gynecological diseases. For example, if the body has uterine wall disease, tumors, uterine hypoplasia, endocrine imbalance and other diseases, or abortion, curettage causing uterine wall softening, etc., it may also cause scanty menstruation. Therefore, if the menstrual flow is too scanty, or accompanied by severe menstrual pain or other abnormal symptoms, the girlfriend should pay enough attention and actively go to the hospital for treatment.

A small amount of menstrual flow may be caused by anemia in some cases. It is recommended to eat more iron-rich foods in the daily diet, such as broccoli, beef liver, jujube, beef and mutton. Of course, we should also pay attention to daily nourishing and health care. We can eat some nourishing foods in moderation, such as black-bone chicken, dried longan, wolfberry, beef, sea cucumber, shrimp, dried oysters, fish roe, etc.

In terms of treatment, if the diet therapy is not ideal for scanty menstruation, Chinese herbal medicine can be used for treatment. For example, scanty menstruation caused by kidney deficiency or scanty menstruation caused by blood stasis must be treated symptomatically with medication.

In addition, uterine curettage, abortion, and curettage may all affect the menstrual period. Secondly, women's stress in food, clothing, housing, life and work, abdominal cold and other conditions can also lead to scanty menstruation. If your menstrual period suddenly decreases, you should first consider whether you have had a miscarriage recently, internal bleeding, or have had a curettage. Therefore, in order to treat scanty menstruation, it is necessary to find out the cause of the disease.
