Is it normal that my menstrual flow is less than before?

Menstruation is a physiological symptom that every woman will experience when she reaches a certain age. Menstruation usually occurs once a month and lasts about a week. Normal menstruation will have regular bleeding, and the amount of bleeding is about 30 ml to 100 ml. The amount of menstrual flow is an important criterion for measuring women's physical health. Many women experience less menstrual flow than before, so is it normal to have less menstrual flow than before?

It is abnormal to have less menstrual volume than before. If the menstrual volume is less than 30 ml, it means that there is a hidden danger in the female body. You need to go to the hospital for treatment to determine the cause so that the right medicine can be prescribed. There are many reasons why women have less menstrual flow, mainly the following reasons:

1. Uterine hypoplasia: Female menstruation actually refers to the bleeding caused by the shedding of the endometrium. Therefore, if the uterus is incompletely developed, that is, the uterus is smaller than normal after puberty, this will cause the amount of endometrial shedding to be much less than normal, which can directly lead to a small amount of menstrual flow. In addition, endometrial lesions, artificial abortions, or curettage can cause damage to the endometrium, which can cause a small amount of menstrual flow.

2. Changes in the mental environment: If a person's mind is in a state of tension for a long time, or is under too much pressure, it will cause a small amount of menstruation. Therefore, female friends must pay attention to adjusting their mentality in daily life, and also pay attention to the combination of work and rest.

3. Ovarian decline: The function of the ovaries will gradually decline as women age. After the ovarian function declines, the menstrual volume will naturally decrease. This is a normal physiological phenomenon of the female body.

4. Endocrine disorders: Once the endocrine system is out of balance, it will cause great harm to the health of female friends. For example, it will cause scanty menstruation. Simply put, it is caused by too low estrogen levels in the body. If the estrogen level is low, it will make it difficult for the endometrium to proliferate, so it is difficult to achieve normal menstrual volume.
