What is the reason for a small amount of menstrual flow and a normal cycle?

Menstruation is very important for women. It is a normal physiological phenomenon for women. Menstruation can reflect the health of women. Small or large menstrual flow is not good for women and will affect their health. Although some women have less menstrual flow, their menstrual cycle is normal. What is the reason for this situation?

What is the reason for a small amount of menstrual flow and a normal cycle?

It may be caused by the poor development of the uterus. Menstruation is accompanied by periodic changes in the ovaries, which causes the shedding of the endometrium and bleeding. If the uterus is poorly developed, such as uterine malformation or a very small uterus, only a small amount of endometrium will be shed in each physiological cycle, resulting in scanty menstruation. In addition, endometrial tuberculosis can also cause endometrial lesions or damage to the endometrium caused by curettage, which can also cause symptoms of scanty menstruation. In severe cases, there will be amenorrhea.

Of course, it may also be caused by abnormal hormone secretion. Estrogen has a certain stimulating effect on endometrial hyperplasia. If hormone secretion is abnormal, it will cause endometrial hyperplasia and fail to reach the thickness people need, thus causing scanty menstruation. Bad emotions, excessive dieting, and reproductive system diseases will affect the endocrine environment, causing abnormal hormone secretion and resulting in scanty menstruation. In addition, it may also be anovulatory menstruation, which is called anovulatory menstruation in medicine. It is different from normal menstruation and belongs to the category of functional uterine bleeding, but in addition to the small amount, it also has the characteristics of irregular time.

Why is the menstruation very regular but the amount is small? In our lives, many female friends have very regular menstrual cycles, but there are some changes in the amount of menstruation. Some have heavy menstrual flow while others have light menstruation. There are many reasons for light menstruation, such as uterine hypoplasia or abnormal hormone secretion.

Does low menstrual flow affect pregnancy?

1. The menstrual volume is small, but the ovarian function is normal. This situation does not affect pregnancy. The menstrual volume of a healthy woman is about 20-80ml. If a woman's menstrual volume is within the normal range but slightly less, and her ovarian ovulation function and female hormone secretion function are within the normal range, then the woman can become pregnant.

2. If a woman's menstrual flow is too small, it is due to systemic wasting diseases such as tuberculosis, malnutrition, anemia, etc., or mental factors such as tension, depression, fear, fatigue, environmental changes, etc. These conditions can be adjusted through emotional counseling or medication and diet therapy. As long as the situation improves, the woman can become pregnant.

3. If the menstrual volume is too small or even amenorrhea is caused by diseases such as endocrine dysfunction, tumors, and uterine hypoplasia, the chance of infertility will greatly increase. Women need to find out the causes of endocrine disorders and actively seek treatment.

4. Low estrogen levels in the body can cause the endometrium to not be thick enough, resulting in less bleeding during menstruation and affecting conception. However, if it is a girl who has just had her first menstruation, the estrogen secretion in her body has not yet reached a balanced and stable state, so the amount of menstrual blood is generally not much. This is normal and will not affect conception.
