What is the reason for irregular menstruation and less menstrual flow?

Due to physiological reasons, women have menstruation every month. The normality of menstruation is directly related to women's physical health. Many women have irregular menstruation. Some have light menstrual flow, while others have unstable menstrual timing. Each situation has its own reasons. So, what is the reason for irregular menstruation and light menstruation? Let’s take a brief look at it through the following introduction.

Common causes

1. Excessive dieting to lose weight

For various reasons, many women have very high demands on their body shape. Women's menstruation is closely related to their weight and body fat content. In particular, women who have menstrual problems should stop losing weight, strengthen their nutrition, and restore their health.

2. Excessive work and rest can lead to endocrine disorders

With a fast-paced life and high-intensity work, many women would probably go crazy if they encounter those uncomfortable days every month. If they do not pay attention to maintaining a good work and rest routine and relaxing at this time, it is likely to cause scanty menstruation.

3. Often sulking and depressed

Female friends should never hold back when they feel wronged. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, holding back can easily cause liver depression and qi stagnation, thereby reducing menstrual flow. In addition, excessive mental stimulation, tension and psychological trauma can also cause oligomenorrhea.

4. Artificial abortion

After an artificial abortion, the ovaries can generally resume ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation will occur in about 1 month. However, a small number of women experience prolonged menstruation, irregular cycles, and amenorrhea after artificial abortion, which usually return to normal after 2-3 months.

5. Ovarian dysfunction

The function of the ovaries directly affects women's menstruation. In the late menstrual period, the menstrual volume is small. Most modern medicine believes that this is related to poor follicular development or anovulation. Therefore, promoting ovulation and strengthening ovarian function are the main links in treating oligomenorrhea.

6. Chest lesions

Many women experience premenstrual breast pain but little menstrual flow. Do not take this lightly, because symptoms such as breast pain may be caused by liver depression and qi stagnation. You need to soothe the liver and regulate qi, and unblock the blood vessels to achieve the overall menstruation regulation effect.

Through the above introduction, we know what causes abnormal and small menstrual flow. When this happens, we need to find the cause ourselves and generally the effect is good if we carry out symptomatic treatment based on the cause. Women should also pay attention to care during menstruation, not only in terms of diet, but also in terms of some common sense in life.
