Is it a big deal if my period stops after two days?

The importance of menstruation to women is self-evident, and healthy menstruation can greatly improve women's mood. Generally speaking, menstruation lasts about a week, which is determined by the female's physical constitution. However, some women may experience abnormal menstruation due to various medical problems. For example, is it a big deal if the menstruation stops after two days? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope everyone can understand it.

There are many reasons for scanty menstrual flow. In addition to luteal insufficiency, abnormal thyroid and prolactin function, a previous abortion, or endometrial adhesions are also possible factors. It may also be related to malnutrition.

The reason for small menstrual volume and dark menstrual blood generally does not mean any problem. It may be caused by menstrual blood staying in the uterine cavity for a long time or gynecological inflammation. Because menstrual blood is mixed with sloughed endometrial fragments, cervical mucus and vaginal epithelial cells, it looks dark in color, not as bright red as the blood flowing out of damaged skin, and there are also some small thin fragments mixed in the menstrual blood.

Menstrual blood is relatively small, and the longer it stays in the uterus and vagina, the darker the color becomes. The causes and pathologies of oligomenorrhea are both real and virtual. For the virtual ones, it is mostly due to physical weakness, serious illness, long-term illness, blood loss, or diet and fatigue that damage the spleen, or sexual fatigue that damages the kidney, which leads to blood deficiency and reduced menstrual volume; for the real ones, it is mostly due to blood stasis, or phlegm and dampness stagnation, meridian blockage, poor blood flow, and reduced menstrual blood. Long-term oligomenorrhea may cause amenorrhea or infertility. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time, and actively treat the symptoms after clarifying the cause to avoid affecting your health.

If menstrual bleeding is too scanty, a blood test will usually be done to check for follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estrogen, prolactin, and progesterone to determine whether the problem is with the ovaries or pituitary hormones. Secondly, the basal body temperature is measured and charted to observe whether ovulation has occurred or whether there is a progesterone deficiency.
