Can I get pregnant if I have a rare period?

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. It is the monthly uterine metabolism of girls. It plays a very good role in protecting women's fertility and human health. Of course, there are also many people who have menstrual abnormalities. For example, many women have light menstrual flow due to various reasons. Many women with light menstrual flow worry that they will not be able to get pregnant. So, will infrequent menstruation affect women’s pregnancy?

1. Will scanty menstruation affect conception?

1. The menstrual volume is small, but the ovarian function is normal. This situation does not affect pregnancy. The menstrual volume of a healthy woman is about 20-80ml. If a woman's menstrual volume is within the normal range but slightly less, and her ovarian ovulation function and female hormone secretion function are within the normal range, then the woman can become pregnant.

2. If a woman's menstrual flow is too small, it is due to systemic wasting diseases such as tuberculosis, malnutrition, anemia, etc., or mental factors such as tension, depression, fear, fatigue, environmental changes, etc. These conditions can be adjusted through emotional counseling or medication and diet therapy. As long as the situation improves, the woman can become pregnant.

3. If the menstrual volume is too small or even amenorrhea is caused by diseases such as endocrine dysfunction, tumors, and uterine hypoplasia, the chance of infertility will greatly increase. Women need to find out the causes of endocrine disorders and actively seek treatment.

4. Low estrogen levels in the body can cause the endometrium to not be thick enough, resulting in less bleeding during menstruation and affecting conception. However, if it is a girl who has just had her first menstruation, the estrogen secretion in her body has not yet reached a balanced and stable state, so the amount of menstrual blood is generally not much. This is normal and will not affect conception.

5. Malnutrition may cause too little menstrual blood flow or even amenorrhea, which may affect pregnancy. This situation not only causes poor development of the reproductive system such as the uterus, laying the hidden danger of future infertility, but also causes a decline in the body's immune function, creating conditions for the invasion of diseases.

2. How to regulate scanty menstruation

1. Pay attention to your diet

About a week before menstruation, women should avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and irritating foods. They can drink more water, consume foods rich in fiber, and keep their bowel movements smooth. You can regulate your body by drinking brown sugar water during menstruation.

2. Eliminate fatigue

If the body is overworked, the functions of the body's organs will be affected and the metabolism will be adversely affected. Therefore, during menstruation, women should avoid intense and prolonged exercise, pay attention to rest, ensure sleep, maintain a regular lifestyle, and avoid staying up late.

3. Keep warm

In addition to avoiding eating raw or cold food, women with light menstrual flow should avoid exposure to cold water, especially cold showers during menstruation. If you sit in an air-conditioned room for a long time, it is best to put on a thin blanket and keep warm to avoid catching cold.

4. Pay attention to hygiene

Women should pay attention to the cleanliness of their external genitalia on a daily basis, especially during menstruation, they should pay attention to cleaning the vulva in time to prevent infection. Choose soft, cotton, and well-ventilated underwear, wash and change it frequently, and dry it in the sun. Do not have sex during your menstrual period.

5. Relax

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that feeling stuffy can easily cause liver depression and qi stagnation, thereby reducing menstrual flow. Negative emotions such as excessive mental stimulation, tension, and sadness can lead to endocrine disorders and cause menstrual abnormalities, so female friends must adjust their mentality and learn to relax.
