The menstrual period is only two days

Menstruation is the normal physiological cycle of every woman's body, and physical health is very important during women's menstruation. They should not be too tired and should not eat spicy or cold food. Under normal circumstances, a normal woman's menstruation lasts about 4-5 days, and a menstruation of only 2 days is an abnormal phenomenon. This may be caused by low levels of estrogen in the female ovaries or body, and requires detailed examination and treatment.

Is it normal to stop having your period after two days?

The symptoms of oligomenorrhea mainly include that the menstrual cycle and menstrual period of women are basically normal, but the menstrual volume is significantly reduced, with each menstrual volume being less than 20ml, or even as little as a drop. Menstruation lasting less than two days is also a sign of low menstrual flow, and in severe cases it may develop into amenorrhea. In traditional Chinese medicine, scanty menstruation is divided into four types: blood deficiency type, kidney deficiency type, blood stasis type, and phlegm-dampness type, based on the color, quality, presence or absence of abdominal pain and accompanying symptoms of menstruation.

1. Blood deficiency type: Menstrual blood is lighter in color and contains no blood clots. During menstruation, women experience symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, weakness, yellow complexion, and a feeling of emptiness in the lower abdomen. The color of the tongue is lighter than that of normal people, and the pulse is thin and weak.

2. Kidney deficiency type: Menstrual blood is light red or even dark red, and thin in texture. Menstruation is accompanied by symptoms such as sore waist and weak knees, heel pain, dizziness, tinnitus, frequent urination at night, etc. The color of the tongue is darker than that of normal people, and the pulse is weak or slow.

3. Blood stasis type: Menstrual blood is purple-black in color and contains blood clots, often accompanied by lower abdominal distension and pain. The abdominal pain symptoms will be relieved after the blood clots are discharged. The tongue is dark purple in color or has small bruises, and the pulse is thin and astringent or stringy and astringent.

4. Phlegm-dampness type: Menstrual blood is light red in color and thick like phlegm. It is more common in obese women and is often accompanied by symptoms of chest tightness and nausea. The tongue is light red with tooth marks on the edge of the tongue, the tongue coating is white and greasy, and the pulse is slippery.

What is the reason for less and darker menstruation?

Small amount of menstrual blood is mostly caused by low estrogen levels and endocrine disorders. There are many reasons for small and dark menstrual flow. In addition to luteal insufficiency, abnormal thyroid and prolactin function, post-abortion surgery or endometrial adhesion are also among the reasons. In addition, it also includes long-term malnutrition, environmental changes, mental stress, improper menstrual care, cold body, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that scanty and dark menstruation is caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, which block the blood vessels and cause poor blood circulation. Therefore, the color of blood is dark brown on the first day of menstruation and the last few days when the amount of blood is small. It may be caused by the menstrual blood staying in the uterus for too long, and it is often accompanied by dysmenorrhea. If you have one or two occasional scant and dark menstrual periods, you can restore them to normal by adjusting your work and rest schedule. If you have scant and dark menstrual periods for a long time, you should go to the hospital for examination and symptomatic treatment.
