Small and thick menstrual flow means that the amount of blood during menstruation is too little, or the menstrual period is too short. Menstrual volume refers to the total amount of blood lost during one menstruation. Normal menstrual volume is 20-80ml. If it is less than this standard, it is considered as too little menstrual volume. Some women have very little menstrual flow from the beginning of menarche, which may be caused by incomplete uterine development. If the normal menstrual flow suddenly decreases, it may be caused by abnormal hormone secretion or anovulatory menstruation.

1. Uterine hypoplasia. Menstruation is the shedding and bleeding of the endometrium that accompanies changes in the ovarian cycle. If the uterus is underdeveloped, such as a very small or deformed uterus, only a small amount of endometrium will be shed in each physiological cycle, resulting in less menstrual flow. In addition, endometrial lesions caused by endometrial tuberculosis or damage to the endometrium due to curettage or other procedures can also result in scanty menstruation or even amenorrhea.

2. Abnormal hormone secretion. Estrogen can stimulate the proliferation of the female endometrium. If the hormone secretion in the body is abnormal, the proliferation of the endometrium will not reach the required thickness, resulting in less menstrual flow. Excessive dieting, irregular work and rest, bad mood, reproductive system diseases, etc. will affect the female endocrine environment, leading to abnormal hormone secretion and low menstrual volume.

3. Anovulatory menstruation. Anovulatory menstruation is generally characterized by a menstrual cycle of less than 21 days, no mature follicles, no corpus luteum production, and no progesterone secretion. Estrogen levels increase and decrease with the growth and atrophy of follicles. When estrogen levels suddenly drop, withdrawal bleeding will occur and menstruation will appear, but the menstrual volume will be very small in this case.
