Why is my menstrual period so thin?

Whether the amount of menstrual flow is normal or not is not a simple question. Generally speaking, during the menstrual period, the amount of menstrual flow will be less on the first day, more on the second and third days, and less on the later days, and then the menstrual period will end quickly. If the menstrual flow is heavy on the first day, this is abnormally heavy menstrual flow. So, what should you do if you have a heavy menstrual period? Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

Why do I have a heavy menstrual period?

If your menstrual flow is heavy or exceeds the usual amount by more than 1/3, it is considered as increased menstrual flow. There are many reasons for increased menstrual flow, the most common of which is endocrine imbalance. That is, due to the lack of normal ovulation, the uterine wall may reproduce and thicken excessively under the action of estrogen. Therefore, the menstrual flow is more than normal during menstruation, which is also called estrogen-induced bleeding.

If you have uterine fibroids, endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine intrauterine polyps, or precancerous lesions of the uterine wall, these reasons may cause increased menstrual flow, so you must go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination immediately, and also check your blood test results. Because the patient has a blood system disease, if the blood coagulation is not good, the menstrual volume will increase. The cause must be found out before treatment.

If the menstrual flow is heavy, you can take motherwort granules for conditioning. Avoid cold and fatigue during menstruation, do not eat cold food, relax. Sometimes depression or work pressure can also cause an increase in menstrual flow. Avoid sexual intercourse. If you have sex during menstruation, it is likely to cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Check whether you have an IUD. Sometimes an IUD can also cause an increase in menstrual flow. If these reasons are ruled out, just check the thickness of the uterine wall. If the increase in menstrual flow is caused by thick endometrium, you can do a curettage.

Why is my menstrual period thinner than water?

Normal menstruation is usually dark red. The color is light at first, then gradually becomes darker, and finally becomes dark red and clear. If the color is lighter at the beginning and end, don't worry, it's normal. According to Chinese medicine, lighter-colored menstrual blood is a symptom of yin deficiency and internal heat, such as qi deficiency, qi and blood deficiency, spleen deficiency, and kidney deficiency. Take daily care as the main focus, pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm and replenish warm water. Avoid eating sweets. Increase moderate outdoor exercise. Eat more fruits and vegetables. The reasons for thinner menstrual periods are as follows:

1. Gynecological tumors. If the water samples are taken frequently and for a long period of time, it may be a sign of endometrial cancer or cervical adenocarcinoma.

2. Endocrine imbalance. The formation of menstruation is closely related to women's estrogen. When the metabolism of estrogen reaches its maximum, the menstrual period may increase, and it will be sticky like egg white and can be pulled into flocs.

3. Candidal vaginitis. About half of the patients with candidal vaginitis will have a lot of watery periods, with moderate redness and edema of the vaginal mucosa, no severe itching or burning sensation, only a feeling of moisture in the vulva.

4. Pelvic inflammatory disease. When women suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease, they may experience a lot of delayed menstruation, which may be thick like liquid or thin like water, or have a foul odor, itching, burning pain in the private parts, soreness and weakness in the legs, and lower abdominal pain.
