What to do if your menstrual period is light?

A woman's menstruation can directly reflect her physical health status. If the menstrual period is regular, the menstrual volume is normal and there is no dysmenorrhea, it means that the woman's body is relatively healthy and the chance of suffering from gynecological diseases is lower. What can be prevented is irregular menstruation. Many women have very little menstrual flow during their period. What is the reason? What should you do if you have little menstrual flow during your period? Let’s take a look at the relevant introduction.

One of the main reasons is stress and reduced sex life. Women who have lighter but regular periods are less likely to consult their doctors. In fact, modern women lead stressful lives. After giving birth, many women have to work outside in addition to taking care of the children and doing housework. The high pressure, coupled with reduced sex life and insufficient hormone secretion, increases the chance of a reduced menstrual flow.

The second reason is that due to open sexual attitudes and frequent abortions, the endometrium is injured and adhered, resulting in a decrease in menstrual volume. Some patients even experience amenorrhea due to cervical obstruction.

The third is premature ovarian decline. Women whose ovaries decline prematurely or are approaching menopause will have less menstrual blood and often experience progesterone deficiency, meaning they will have a small amount of bleeding for a few days before their actual menstruation.

If menstrual bleeding is too scanty, a blood test will usually be performed, and the follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estrogen, prolactin, and progesterone will be checked at the same time to determine whether the problem is with the ovarian or pituitary hormones. Secondly, measure the basal body temperature and make a chart to observe whether ovulation has occurred or whether progesterone deficiency occurs. Ultrasound examination can also be performed to detect the thickness of the endometrium and whether ovulation has occurred. If the cervix is ​​blocked due to uterine adhesions, a contraceptive device can be inserted after separation with a hysteroscope, followed by hormone treatment for 3 months.

After reading the above introduction, you should understand why some women have irregular menstruation. What should you do if you have less menstruation? Less menstruation is mostly caused by endocrine disorders or other gynecological diseases. The best treatment method is diet therapy, and it is also crucial to develop regular living habits with regular diet.
