I have a very rare period. Am I pregnant?

Everyone's menstrual cycle is different, and sometimes it changes depending on people's mood, environment, and recent diet. Some women are wondering whether they are pregnant if they have very little menstruation. In fact, the length of menstruation cannot determine whether you are pregnant or not. It may also be caused by some problems in your body. Below I will tell you in detail the reasons for scanty menstrual flow.

1. Does scanty menstruation mean pregnancy?

Under normal circumstances, the normal menstrual volume for girls is mainly between 80-100ml. However, some female friends still have less menstrual flow, but it is still within the normal range. It can also secrete hormones and ovarian ovulation functions for girls, both of which are within the normal range. This group of female friends still have the ability to reproduce.

In addition, some girls have too little menstrual flow due to systemic wasting diseases (anemia, malnutrition, tuberculosis, etc.), mental factors (tension, fear, depression, etc.), or environmental changes, fatigue, etc. Some girls who have too little menstrual flow due to these factors are still able to have children.

If the menstrual volume is too small due to diseases such as uterine hypoplasia, tumors, and endocrine dysfunction, severe cases may cause amenorrhea and the chance of infertility will greatly increase.

Can you get pregnant with a light menstrual flow? You can get pregnant with a light menstrual flow, but there are also cases of infertility. It depends on the cause of the light menstrual flow. Some causes can lead to infertility, while others do not. To improve the pregnancy rate of girls, we need to find the cause of scanty menstruation and treat it accordingly.

Girls with scanty menstrual flow should not eat raw, cold, spicy or irritating foods. They can drink more water and consume more foods rich in dietary fiber to keep their bowel movements smooth. Eat more foods that are rich in iron and have good nourishing effects, such as milk, eggs, soy milk, spinach, black-bone chicken, lamb, fish roe, animal offal, black beans, sea cucumbers, walnut kernels, etc. You can drink brown sugar water to regulate your body during menstruation.
