Why is my menstrual flow so light?

Light menstrual flow means that a woman's monthly menstruation is shorter and the amount of blood loss is less. The total amount of blood loss during a menstrual period is the menstrual volume. Generally, the menstrual volume is higher than 20ml and less than 80ml. If it is less than this standard, it is light menstrual flow. This situation should cause our attention, because light menstrual flow will cause many harms, such as facial acne, cervicitis, headaches and other symptoms. In severe cases, it will lead to female infertility. So what is the reason for less menstrual flow? How should we regulate it?

There are many reasons for the small amount of menstrual flow. If the amount is very small from the beginning, it is very likely caused by poor development. When the uterus is underdeveloped, a small amount of uterine wall will fall off during the menstrual period, so the amount of menstruation is very small. If the menstrual flow suddenly decreases, it may be caused by abnormal hormone metabolism. The endocrine environment of the human body is affected by one's own diet, work and rest schedule and mentality. If the diet is unscientific, the work and rest schedule is irregular, and the mood control is not good, it will lead to an imbalance in the endocrine environment, affect the proliferation of the uterine wall, and thus cause a small amount of menstrual flow.

When the menstrual flow is small, we must take care of the body in time. Generally, minor symptoms will recover through daily care. In daily maintenance, we can start from the following aspects:

1. The diet should be reasonable. Women should eat less raw and irritating foods, especially before and after the menstrual period. They must control their diet and do not diet too much, as this can easily lead to an imbalance in the endocrine environment. Eat more foods that replenish qi and blood, drink more water, and drink brown sugar water for conditioning during menstruation.

2. Keep a regular schedule, avoid staying up late, be efficient during working hours, and don’t overwork. Pay attention to rest and ensure quality sleep.

3. Take good measures to keep warm. Do not eat raw or cold food during menstruation. Also avoid contact with cold water. Take good measures to keep warm to avoid catching a cold.

4. Do a good job in sanitation. Pay attention to the sanitation of your private parts, clean your private parts in time, wash and change your underwear frequently, and wear breathable and soft cotton underwear.

5. Maintain a happy mood. A bad mentality will cause liver qi stagnation and lead to an imbalance in the endocrine environment, so try to relieve stress and have a good mentality.

A small amount of menstrual flow can cause great harm to women's bodies and cause great trouble to their daily lives. Therefore, if you experience a small amount of menstrual flow, you must seek medical attention in time, find out the cause, and treat it with medication. In daily life, we can take care of ourselves through diet and lifestyle.
