Breast tenderness and scanty menstruation

Less menstrual flow and breast pain are common symptoms. There are many reasons for this symptom, which may be related to excessive stress. In addition, bad psychological conditions may cause endocrine disorders. Of course, it may also be related to diseases, such as gynecological problems, endocrine problems, etc. At this time, you can go to the hospital for a good check-up to avoid harm to your health.

Breast tenderness and scanty menstruation

First of all, we need to see what causes the scanty menstrual flow. There are many reasons for scanty menstrual flow, such as gynecological inflammation, endocrine disorders, mental and work stress, anemia, etc. Secondly, it may be due to the endometrium itself, such as multiple artificial abortions, endometrial tuberculosis causing endometrial lesions, or curettage causing thin endometrium, etc. Long-term scanty menstrual flow may cause amenorrhea or infertility. It is recommended that you go to the hospital in time to check the six sex hormones and B-ultrasound, and actively treat the symptoms after clarifying the cause to avoid affecting your health. In daily life, you should pay attention to keeping warm and eat less spicy and irritating foods. Dark menstrual blood is caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, and menstrual blood accumulates in the uterus for a long time.

What is the reason for scanty menstruation?

Oligomenorrhea refers to the fact that a woman has too little blood during her menstrual period, or her menstrual period is too short. Menstrual volume refers to the total amount of blood lost during one menstruation. Normal menstrual volume is 20-80ml. If it is less than this standard, it is considered as too little menstrual volume. Generally speaking, if a pack of sanitary napkins (10 pieces/pack) is not used in each cycle, and the amount of blood on each piece is very small, just wetting the surface, it means that the menstrual flow is light.

What is the reason for scanty menstrual flow? Some women have scanty menstrual flow since menarche, which may be caused by uterine hypoplasia. A sudden decrease in normal menstrual flow may be caused by abnormal hormone secretion or anovulatory menstruation.

The reasons for scanty menstruation mainly include the following three aspects:

1. Uterine hypoplasia. Menstruation is the shedding and bleeding of the endometrium that accompanies changes in the ovarian cycle. If the uterus is underdeveloped, such as a very small or deformed uterus, only a small amount of endometrium will be shed in each physiological cycle, resulting in less menstrual flow. In addition, endometrial lesions caused by endometrial tuberculosis or damage to the endometrium due to curettage or other procedures can also result in scanty menstruation or even amenorrhea.

2. Abnormal hormone secretion. Estrogen can stimulate the proliferation of the female endometrium. If the hormone secretion in the body is abnormal, the proliferation of the endometrium will not reach the required thickness, resulting in less menstrual flow. Excessive dieting, irregular work and rest, bad mood, reproductive system diseases, etc. will affect the female endocrine environment, leading to abnormal hormone secretion and low menstrual volume.

3. Anovulatory menstruation. Women who do not ovulate can also have menstruation, which is medically called "anovulatory menstruation." This is different from normal menstruation and falls into the category of "functional uterine bleeding". This type of menstruation is characterized by irregular timing and very little blood flow.
