Low menstrual flow and low estrogen levels

For women, menstruation is very important. Of course, the time of menstruation is different for each person, but if you find that your menstruation is different every month, you should pay great attention to it. You must not let your carelessness lead to bad consequences. So what is the reason for small menstrual volume and low estrogen? What should we do? Let’s take a look at it together.

The amount of menstrual flow varies from woman to woman, with great individual differences. It is generally 20-100 ml, with an average of about 50. It is normal to change sanitary napkins or menstrual papers 3-5 times a day. Oligomenorrhea is usually related to endocrine disorders, such as abnormal secretion of various hormones or anovulation; in addition, it may be due to the endometrium itself, such as endometrial tuberculosis causing endometrial lesions or artificial abortion, curettage causing thin endometrium, etc. Of course, certain mental factors such as excessive tension, fatigue, depression, etc. may also cause irregular menstruation or decreased menstruation. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time to confirm.

1. Hypopituitarism leads to insufficient secretion of ovarian estrogen, resulting in insufficient endometrial proliferation; 2. Pathologies of the uterus itself, such as endometrial hypoplasia, endometrial tuberculosis, and rough curettage, which damage the endometrium; 3. Individual differences. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital's gynecology department for relevant examinations, find out the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment.

Many women do not know why they have light menstrual flow. After examination, they find that it is caused by endocrine disorders, low estrogen levels, and thin endometrium. So how can endocrine disorders cause light menstrual flow, thin endometrium, and low estrogen levels?

Experts explained that the human body has an endocrine system that secretes various hormones and works together with the nervous system to regulate the body's metabolism and physiological functions. Under normal circumstances, various hormones are kept in balance. If this balance is disrupted for some reason (too much or too little of a certain hormone), this will cause endocrine disorders and lead to corresponding clinical manifestations. Endocrine disorders refer to a certain hormone imbalance, and menstrual irregularity is one of them. Low estrogen secretion, thin endometrium, and scanty menstruation are some of the many conditions of endocrine disorders. We must first clarify the causes of endocrine disorders and low estrogen levels. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that women's kidney yin is damaged due to long-term fatigue, surgery, serious illness, malnutrition, etc. The liver stores blood and the kidneys store essence. Essence and blood have the same origin, and menstruation is based on essence and blood. If essence and blood are insufficient, the blood sea will be empty and menstrual blood cannot flow downward. Therefore, when women have kidney yin deficiency and insufficient qi and blood, their menstrual volume will be small or menstruation will be delayed. Clinically, donkey-hide gelatin and Huangjing pills are often used and have achieved good results. If you suffer from scanty menstruation, you should also start with diet and exercise. You should develop good eating habits, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, high-protein foods, drink plenty of water, replenish the water needed by the body, and at the same time participate in various sports and exercises to strengthen your physical fitness. You should also have a scientific lifestyle.

We can find that there is not a single reason that leads to light menstrual flow and low estrogen. It is closely related to our usual eating habits. If our work and rest schedule is unstable, it will also lead to light menstrual flow and low estrogen. So as women, we should pay special attention to this issue and not let diet and work and rest problems disrupt our menstruation.
