What causes light and dark menstrual flow?

A while ago, a friend told me that she had less and dark menstruation recently. Because she is a girl, she is always shy when encountering this problem, so she would not go to the hospital to see a doctor or take medicine. Many times girls are affected by their own psychology, so they can't adjust their bodies in time, so many times their health will get worse and worse. If you don't want to go to the hospital, you should at least understand why your menstruation is less and dark.

Dark menstrual blood is a sign of abnormal menstruation and may be caused by some gynecological inflammation. Generally, this situation occurs because the black menstrual blood is caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, and the menstrual blood has been stagnant in the uterus for a long time. Oligomenorrhea refers to less menstrual volume than normal people during menstruation, which is mostly caused by blood deficiency, qi stagnation, blood stasis, cold stagnation in the blood, phlegm obstruction and other reasons.

Therefore, it is recommended that female friends who experience this phenomenon should go to the hospital for examination in time. Generally, diseases that cause irregular menstruation in women are seen in ovarian diseases and cervical diseases. Menstruation is formed after the hormones secreted by the ovaries stimulate the endometrium. The hormones secreted by the ovaries are controlled by the release of hormones from the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Therefore, whether it is the ovaries, pituitary glands, or hypothalamus that are abnormal in function, it will affect menstruation. There are two main reasons for irregular menstruation, small amount of menstrual flow and dark color:

1. Caused by neuroendocrine dysfunction: mainly due to unstable or defective function of the posterior brain-pituitary-ovarian axis, that is, menstrual disorder.

2. Caused by organic diseases or drugs, etc.: including local inflammation of the reproductive organs, tumors and developmental abnormalities, malnutrition, intracranial diseases, other endocrine dysfunctions such as thyroid and adrenal cortex dysfunction, diabetes, Sheehan's disease, liver diseases, blood diseases, etc.

Through the above description, I believe you have already figured out the reason why your menstrual flow is small and black. If this phenomenon occurs frequently, you must go to the hospital to see a professional doctor so that you can understand your physical condition in time and make corresponding adjustments based on your body, which is best for your body.
