Light menstrual color

In today's society, many women often suffer from irregular menstruation with varying degrees of dark or light menstrual color due to work pressure, heavy burdens, and irregular lifestyle and diet. In fact, irregular menstruation is a common gynecological disease, which manifests as irregular menstrual cycle, varying amounts of menstrual volume, early/late menstruation, dark color, dysmenorrhea, blood clots and other symptoms. If you do not pay attention, it may also lead to other gynecological diseases.

Question 1:

What is the cause of the light red menstrual period?

In addition to blood, menstrual blood also contains a small amount of shed debris, cervical mucus and vaginal epithelial cells, so the normal color of menstruation is generally dark red. However, some girls find that their menstrual blood is very light, pink, and a little thin.

Question 2

What is the reason for light red and thin menstrual period?

Menstruation is accomplished by the full cooperation of the five internal organs in the body. Menstruation and the symptoms before and after it can well reflect the condition of Qi and blood in the female body. Generally speaking, menstruation is dark red, neither thin nor thick, not coagulated, without blood clots, and has no special smell. Any menstrual period with light color and thin texture is mostly related to "deficiency", such as Qi deficiency, blood deficiency, spleen deficiency, kidney deficiency, or phlegm and dampness.

Question 3:

1. Qi deficiency: due to postnatal malnutrition, or due to overwork and depletion, or due to long-term illness, symptoms such as physical weakness, pale complexion, shortness of breath, limb fatigue, dizziness, sweating when moving, light menstruation, heavy menstruation, etc.

2. Blood deficiency: caused by improper diet, overwork, emotional frustration, excessive blood loss, long-term illness, etc., symptoms such as pale or sallow complexion, dizziness, palpitations, frequent dreams, numbness of hands and feet, scanty menstruation, pale color, late menstruation or amenorrhea may occur;

3. Spleen deficiency: It is often caused by eating disorders, improper work and rest, or long-term illness and physical weakness. Symptoms may include limb fatigue, fatigue, lack of energy, laziness, weight loss, obesity and edema, and scanty menstruation.

4. Kidney deficiency: congenital deficiency of kidney qi and kidney essence, or damage caused by excessive sexual intercourse, excessive births, artificial abortions, etc., may cause symptoms such as frequent urination, forgetfulness and insomnia, fatigue intolerance, soreness of waist and knees, light menstruation, scanty menstruation or amenorrhea;

5. Phlegm and dampness: Living in a humid environment all year round, such as a humid climate, rain, etc., moisture will invade the human body and cause illness, which may cause chest tightness, excessive phlegm, drowsiness, joint pain, skin numbness, edema of the limbs, frequent and unformed bowel movements, etc.
