My period is like blood and the color is very light, what's going on?

If women do not maintain good living habits in their lives, it is easy to cause irregular menstruation, such as staying up late or eating irritating foods frequently. There are many symptoms of irregular menstruation. Some patients will have very light menstrual color, just like blood. This may be caused by the influence of hormones. So why is the period very light like blood?

First, why is the menstrual blood so light in color? Under normal circumstances, menstruation is bright red, without dark blood clots. If the menstrual blood is as thin as water, only a little pink, or black or purple, it is abnormal. Pay attention to rest during menstruation. Drink more water and avoid eating spicy, raw or cold foods. Although you cannot take a bath during menstruation, you can take a shower. Pay attention to the hygiene of your private parts. You can use special private area cleaning wipes, but don't use them frequently.

Second, generally speaking, it indicates that the patient has a condition called insufficient Qi and blood according to Chinese medicine. Qi deficiency, kidney deficiency or spleen deficiency often manifests as lighter menstruation, less volume, or even clearer menstruation. The patient may also have fatigue and even back pain. Then Qi deficiency and Qi and blood deficiency to a certain extent will also form blood stasis factors. Because Qi and blood are pushed forward, blood fluid circulation will be obstructed, so it will also cause Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome, which will also form some small blood clots. However, most of the manifestations of deficiency are relatively small menstrual volume, light color, and lighter color.

Third, from menarche to menopause, except during pregnancy and lactation, menstruation occurs regularly on time. A normal menstrual cycle is generally about 28 days, but 21-35 days is also within the normal range. Menstrual period refers to the duration of each menstrual period. The normal period is 3-7 days, and most cases are 4-5 days. The total menstrual volume is generally about 50-80ml; menstrual color refers to the color of menstrual blood, which is mostly dark red in normal cases; normal menstrual blood should be neither thin nor thick, not coagulated, without blood clots, and without special smell. Only slight back pain, lower abdominal distension, mood changes, etc. before and during menstruation are also normal phenomena.

Why does my period seem like light blood? Normal menstruation comes every month and is good for the female body. If there is something wrong with the body, there will definitely be certain symptoms during menstruation. Every woman should take care of her health, not overdraw her body, and not always touch cold water when it is cold, as that will chill the body. Also, don't be too tired, and rest when it is time.
