What is the reason for so few periods?

Menstruation is also called menstruation. Generally, it occurs once a month. Low menstrual volume means that the menstrual volume is less than that of normal people during menstruation. It is mostly caused by blood deficiency, blood stasis, cold and phlegm obstruction. But there are also some other reasons. Let’s take a look at the reasons why menstruation is so rare.

The causes and pathologies of oligomenorrhea are both deficiency and excess. Deficiency is mostly caused by physical weakness, serious illness, long-term illness, blood loss, or diet, fatigue, spleen damage, or sexual fatigue, kidney damage, which leads to blood deficiency and reduced menstrual volume; excess is mostly caused by blood stasis, or phlegm and dampness stagnation, meridian blockage, poor blood flow, and reduced menstrual blood.

If the menstrual cycle is basically normal but the menstrual flow is significantly reduced, or even stops with a few drops, or the menstrual period is shortened to less than two days and the menstrual flow is also small, it is called oligomenorrhea, also known as scanty menstruation. It is generally believed that menstrual volume less than 30 ml is considered oligomenorrhea. This disease is often a precursor to amenorrhea. Oligomenorrhea may be associated with cycle abnormalities, such as scanty menstrual flow or scanty menstrual flow at the end of the menstrual cycle.

If oligomenorrhea is caused by oral contraceptives or intramuscular contraceptive injections, the medication should be stopped and the disease can be treated according to the discussion and treatment of this disease. The diagnosis of oligomenorrhea generally refers to two or more consecutive occurrences. If the flow is always normal but suddenly becomes less, attention should be paid to whether it is a threatened miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy, or a small amount of vaginal bleeding due to ectopic pregnancy. Further examinations must be done to differentiate.

Women should pay special attention to their physical health and not let some small details lead to more serious consequences. Menstruation reflects women's physical health. When menstruation is abnormal, it proves that women's body is also abnormal, so I hope women will pay enough attention to it.
