The third day of the menstrual period is very light.

Whether the menstrual cycle is regular and whether the menstrual volume is up to standard will affect women's fertility. Normally, the menstrual period should last about a week, and the first day will be relatively light. However, for some women, the menstrual volume is very light on the third day, and some even has no menstrual volume. There are many reasons that cause this problem, such as endocrine disorders, irregular work and rest, etc. Female friends must understand this clearly before taking appropriate measures. Let me explain in detail why the menstrual period is so little on the third day.

1. Abnormal hormone secretion

Estrogen can stimulate the proliferation of the female endometrium. If the hormone secretion in the body is abnormal, the proliferation of the endometrium will not reach the required thickness, resulting in less menstrual flow.

2. Uterine hypoplasia

Uterine hypoplasia, also known as immature uterus, was previously believed to be a condition in which the uterus stops developing due to various internal or external factors in the late pregnancy or any period from the birth of the fetus to before puberty, resulting in varying degrees of immature uterus. 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.

3. Anovulatory menstruation

Anovulatory menstruation is generally characterized by a female menstrual cycle of less than 21 days. Estrogen levels increase and decrease with the growth and atrophy of follicles. When estrogen levels suddenly drop, withdrawal bleeding occurs and menstruation appears, but the menstrual flow will be very small in this case.

4. Other factors

Excessive dieting, irregular work and rest, bad mood, reproductive system diseases, etc. will affect the female endocrine environment, leading to abnormal hormone secretion and low menstrual volume.
