Oligomenorrhea refers to the fact that a woman has too little blood during her menstrual period, or her menstrual period is too short. Menstrual volume refers to the total amount of blood lost during one menstruation. Normal menstrual volume is 20-80ml. If it is less than this standard, it is considered as too little menstrual volume. Generally speaking, if a pack of sanitary napkins (10 pieces/pack) is not used in each cycle, and the amount of blood on each napkin is very small, just wetting the surface, it means that the menstrual flow is light.

What is the reason for scanty menstrual flow? Some women have very little menstrual flow since menarche, which may be caused by incomplete uterine development. A sudden decrease in normal menstrual flow may be caused by abnormal hormone secretion or anovulatory menstruation.

The reasons for scanty menstruation mainly include the following three aspects:

1. Uterine hypoplasia. Menstruation is the shedding and bleeding of the endometrium that accompanies changes in the ovarian cycle. If the uterus is underdeveloped, such as a very small or deformed uterus, only a small amount of endometrium will be shed in each physiological cycle, resulting in less menstrual flow. In addition, endometrial lesions caused by endometrial tuberculosis or damage to the endometrium due to curettage or other procedures can also result in scanty menstruation or even amenorrhea.
