Why is my menstrual period so short?

Some people experience long menstrual cycles, but some people experience short menstruation, which usually ends in about two or three days. We can judge this as a physiological phenomenon, mainly because the individual's physical constitution is too good or the amount of exercise is large, the uterus will quickly end the body's menstrual period, and there are pathological factors. However, another factor is uterine hypoplasia, including excessive weight loss and irregular lifestyle and work and rest time, which may all cause the patient's menstrual period to end.

What is the reason for scanty menstruation?

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.

Reasons for scanty menstrual flow;

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.
