Is scanty menstruation related to anemia?

Normal women's menstruation lasts for 2-7 days, with a menstrual volume of 50-80 ml. If the duration is less than 2 days and the menstrual volume is less than 30 ml, it is usually considered as oligomenorrhea. There are many reasons for scanty menstruation, such as endocrine disorders, gynecological inflammation, changes in mental environment, anemia, etc. In addition, it may be due to the endometrium itself, such as endometrial tuberculosis causing endometrial lesions or artificial abortion, and curettage causing thin endometrium.

3. Sulking or encountering major spiritual stimulation and psychological trauma can easily lead to less menstrual flow in girls.

4. In addition, it may be due to the endometrium itself, such as endometrial tuberculosis causing endometrial lesions or artificial abortion or curettage causing thin endometrium.
