Menstrual period is not red and the color is very light

Due to the action of sex hormones secreted by the ovaries, the endometrium of adolescent girls undergoes periodic changes and sheds once a month. The shed mucosa and blood are discharged from the body through the vagina. This bleeding phenomenon is menstruation. It is called menstruation because it occurs once a month for most people. Some people often experience light-colored menstruation. Is this normal? What does it represent? Let’s get closer to today’s question.

Menstrual blood is not red and the color is very light:

1. The main components of menstruation are blood (3/4 arterial blood, 1/4 venous blood), endometrial tissue fragments and various active enzymes and biological factors. Among them, fibrinolytic enzyme makes menstrual blood liquid and prevents it from coagulating, and prostaglandins play a role in contracting the uterus. Medically speaking, only the reproductive cycle experienced by primates (including humans) is called menstruation. In addition, the reproductive cycle of other mammals is called the estrus cycle. Menstruation is regulated by the reproductive hormone system and is necessary for biological reproduction. A woman's first menstruation is called menarche, and the onset of menarche marks the entry of a woman into puberty. The average age of menarche for girls is 12 years old. Many factors, including genetics, diet, and physical health, can cause menarche to come earlier or later. The cessation of menstruation marks that a woman has entered menopause, also known as menopause. The average age of menopausal women is 51 years old. Of course, just like menarche, many factors such as genetics, disease, surgery and medical treatment can advance or delay menopause. It is normal to enter menopause between the ages of 40 and 58. Menopause occurring before the age of 35 is defined as premature aging.

2. As the ovaries change, the endometrium is also affected and undergoes corresponding cyclical changes. Estrogen causes the endometrium to thicken, the endometrial cells to increase in number and size, and the arterioles in the interstitium to become more tortuous and spiral, which is called the proliferative endometrium. After ovulation, due to the combined effects of estrogen and progesterone, the endometrium becomes edematous, the glands produce a large amount of mucus and glycogen, and the thickness of the endometrium increases from 1 mm to 6 mm, which is called the secretory endometrium.

If the egg released at this time is fertilized, the fertilized egg is transported to the uterus through the fallopian tube for development, which is called pregnancy. The pregnancy tissue synthesizes a chorionic gonadotropin, which supports the continued development of the corpus luteum of the ovary. If the egg is not fertilized, the corpus luteum will atrophy and stop secreting estrogen and progesterone about 14 days after ovulation. At this time, the blood vessels in the endometrium contract, the endometrium necrotizes and falls off, causing bleeding and forming menstruation.

Therefore, the length of the menstrual cycle depends on the length of the ovarian cycle, which is generally 21-30 days, but varies from person to person, and may be 23-45 days, or even 3 months or half a year as a cycle. As long as it is regular, it is generally considered normal menstruation.

The bleeding time is generally 3-7 days, and the total amount of bleeding each time is 30-50ml. Some people believe that menstrual volume exceeding 80ml is a pathological condition.

3. Menstrual disorders, also known as irregular menstruation.

This is a common gynecological disease. Symptoms include abnormal menstrual cycle or bleeding volume.

Or abdominal pain and systemic symptoms before and during menstruation. The cause may be organic disease or functional disorder. Blood diseases, hypertension, liver diseases, endocrine diseases, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, hydatidiform mole, reproductive tract infection, tumors (such as ovarian tumors, uterine fibroids), etc. can all cause menstrual disorders. It is divided into five categories: early menstruation, delayed menstruation, menorrhagia, oligomenorrhea, and amenorrhea.

During menstruation, women may experience physical discomfort. Therefore, three days before your period, you can decide the form of exercise according to your own situation, focusing on gentle, soothing, relaxing and stretching exercises, such as meditative yoga, Wenmaishu sports massage, elementary body gymnastics, or just doing some simple stretching exercises at home. On the fifth day of the menstrual period, the body begins to recover and you can start doing aerobic exercises such as slow walking and jogging. However, you should still avoid some ball games and heavy weight sports.

These light exercises help the blood flow smoothly in the body and relieve stress. During exercise, be sure to avoid putting pressure on the abdominal cavity and avoid raising the legs too high. If you feel tired or notice a sudden increase or decrease in bleeding, stop exercising immediately.

In daily life, we should try to keep the private parts clean and use a cleanser that can effectively inhibit and kill the pathogens of gynecological diseases. It can not only effectively inhibit and kill the bacteria while cleaning the private parts, but also increase the private parts' own resistance. Women are yin, their physiological structure is more complex, and their organs are more fragile. If you are not careful, it may cause physiological and structural disorders of gynecological organs, and then cause gynecological diseases. Common gynecological diseases such as chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, cold body and limbs, dysmenorrhea, scanty menstruation, irregular menstruation, uterine cold and infertility can be treated through corresponding treatment in combination with Chinese medicine massage and foot bath. At the same time, the reflex zones of the feet can be stimulated. The commonly used one is the Wenmaishu sports massage wheel. The massage wheel drives the overall coordinated movement of the lower limbs, involving muscles and bones in multiple parts such as the thigh, calf, knee joint, ankle joint, sole and toes, and focuses on the sole and side of the foot to produce a massage effect, which can effectively regulate the body's physiological functions, improve the function of the immune system, and relieve menstrual disorders. To achieve the purpose of disease prevention, health care and physical fitness.
