What is the cause of light menstrual color?

Women must pay attention to the health of their menstrual period. If the color of menstrual blood is lighter, it may be a sign of physical weakness, especially blood deficiency, kidney deficiency or blood stasis, etc. These problems may cause these symptoms.

1. Light color and small amount of menstrual period is caused by blood deficiency

Blood deficiency or traumatic bleeding, postpartum hemorrhage, and postoperative bleeding can all cause blood deficiency in the body, insufficient blood flow, and reduced menstrual volume.

2. Light color and less menstrual flow indicate kidney deficiency

Congenital deficiency of kidney qi and kidney essence, or excessive sexual intercourse, too many births, artificial abortions, etc., which damage the kidneys, result in insufficient kidney qi, insufficient essence and blood, empty blood sea and reduced menstrual flow.

3. Blood stasis

If women catch cold during menstruation, their bodies will be invaded by cold evil, causing blood to coagulate; or if they quarrel with others or feel depressed during menstruation, causing qi stagnation and blood stasis; or if external injuries cause blood stasis, all of these may cause menstrual blood to flow poorly and lead to oligomenorrhea.

4. Phlegm and dampness

Obese women have a phlegm-damp body type; because phlegm-dampness blocks the meridians, the menstrual blood flows poorly, resulting in scanty menstruation.
