How much is normal for menstrual flow? It turns out that these reasons lead to a small amount of menstrual flow

For female friends, menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon that occurs every month. Under normal circumstances, 30 ml of menstrual volume is too little, and 180 ml is too much. The normal amount should be 60 ml each time.

1. How long is a normal menstrual period?

Menstruation is a physiological reaction of periodic uterine bleeding. How can we know whether the menstrual volume is too much or too little? Gynecologists say that generally 30 ml of menstrual volume is too little, and 180 ml is too much. The normal amount should be 60 ml each time. This requires us to pay attention to the amount of sanitary napkins we use, and not exceed two packs per cycle. If three packs of sanitary napkins are not enough each time and each sanitary napkin is soaked, it means that the menstrual flow is too heavy. On the contrary, if one pack is not used up every time, it means that the menstrual flow is too light and you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

The menstrual cycle varies greatly from person to person. Some people have a menstrual cycle as short as 20 days, while others have a menstrual cycle as long as 36 days. All of these are considered normal. According to relevant survey statistics, only about 10% of the respondents actually have their menstruation every 28 to 30 days. As long as the intervals between periods are the same, it is normal. Irregular advances or delays are abnormal and may be a symptom of a disease.

Experts remind that from the perspective of physiological development, irregular menstruation is normal for adolescent women, but if the irregularity lasts for a long time, such as half a year or a year, it should be taken seriously. Most women of childbearing age should have normal menstruation. If it is abnormal, there may be a problem.

2. Common causes of scanty menstruation:

1. The most obvious ones are endocrine causes, such as abnormal secretion of various hormones or anovulation;

2. In addition, it may be caused by the endometrium itself, such as endometrial tuberculosis causing endometrial lesions or artificial abortion and curettage causing thin endometrium, etc.

3. Women who diet excessively may experience less menstrual flow;

4. Sulking or encountering major spiritual stimulation and psychological trauma can easily lead to scanty menstruation.

3. Physical examinations that should be done during light menstruation:

First, you should take blood samples to check various hormone levels to understand whether there are any abnormalities in your hormone levels, and keep measuring your basal body temperature for 2-3 cycles to understand whether you have ovulated; in addition, you can do a tuberculin test and erythrocyte sedimentation rate examination to confirm whether there is tuberculosis activity. If there is endocrine abnormality or anovulation, targeted treatment should be given according to different conditions such as which specific hormones are abnormal and whether fertility is desired. If the above physical examinations are normal, no treatment is required.
