What causes less menstrual flow?

Uterine hypoplasia. Menstruation is the shedding and bleeding of the uterine wall that occurs with the change of the uterine and ovarian cycle. If the uterus is underdeveloped, such as the uterus is not large or is deformed, only a small amount of uterine wall will fall off in each menstrual cycle, resulting in a small amount of menstrual flow. In addition, endometrial tuberculosis causing endometrial degeneration or curettage causing damage to the uterine wall can also lead to scanty menstruation or even amenorrhea.

Abnormal growth hormone metabolism. Estrogen can stimulate the proliferation of women's uterine wall. If the body's hormone secretion is abnormal, the proliferation of the uterine wall will not reach the required thickness, resulting in less menstrual flow. Excessive dieting, excessive work and rest time, bad mood, urinary system diseases, etc. will affect the female endocrine environment, causing abnormal hormone secretion and small menstrual flow.

Anovulatory periods. Women who do not ovulate will still have their periods, which is medically called "anovulatory menstruation." This is different from normal menstruation and belongs to the category of "multifunctional abnormal uterine bleeding". The characteristics of this type of menstruation are irregular time and very little blood.

How to regulate light menstruation? In addition to adjusting food intake, you can also regulate menstruation by changing your lifestyle, avoiding mental stimulation, etc. Women during menstruation should do a good job of keeping warm, avoid the stimulation of cold, and especially be careful not to eat cold foods. In addition, avoid excessive fatigue and maintain a happy mood. These methods are all very effective in regulating menstruation, thereby avoiding the symptom of scanty menstruation.
