Small amount of dark menstrual blood

Women's menstruation can easily cause some problems. Nowadays, many women have irregular menstruation, and irregular menstruation is also a very common disease. Some women have very little menstruation, usually one or two days, and the color of the menstruation is also very dark. Such a situation must attract the attention of women, as there may be some diseases in the body. Let's take a look at what is going on with the small amount of menstruation and the dark color of the menstruation.

Female friends, is your menstruation normal? Nowadays, very few women have normal menstruation. It is either too much or too little, and it is easy for menstruation to be delayed or early. For women with small amounts of dark menstruation, we should pay attention to it and know what is going on.

What is the reason for less menstrual flow and dark color?

Gynecological experts say that female friends are very worried when the menstrual volume is small and dark in color. Generally speaking, 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, experts recommend 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 gland, 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, including local inflammation of 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. Menstrual irregularities may occur in women who use psychiatric drugs, endocrine preparations, or intrauterine devices for contraception.

There are many factors that cause scanty menstruation. It is necessary to carefully inquire about the medical history and carefully examine and analyze the medical records, correctly diagnose and treat it, and prevent it from developing into amenorrhea.

1. The diet must be light to ensure the smooth flow of Qi and blood, especially during menstruation, constipation should not occur. You can eat more peach kernels, rapeseed, and black soybeans to help promote blood circulation. It is not advisable to eat foods that are easy to cause bloating, such as sweet potatoes, taro, broad beans, chestnuts, etc.

2 Maintain a happy spirit, avoid mental stimulation and mood swings. Some people may experience lower abdominal distension, back pain, breast tenderness, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability or depression during the menstrual period. These are all normal and there is no need to be overly nervous.

3. Underwear should be soft, made of cotton, with good ventilation and air permeability. It should be washed and changed frequently, and the changed underwear should be dried in the sun.

4 The body should not be too weak during menstruation, and nutrition must be sufficient. Insufficient nutrition will cause qi and blood deficiency, and insufficient qi and blood will directly affect the situation of low menstrual volume. It is necessary to take some Chinese medicine or health products to replenish qi and blood.

Now everyone knows why women have less and darker menstrual flow. Generally, this is related to some gynecological diseases. Women with poor blood circulation are more likely to have this phenomenon. Women must pay attention to their normal menstruation. If any abnormal situation occurs, they must go for a check-up in time to avoid the occurrence of some gynecological diseases.
