Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle is always irregular, either delayed or early. Sometimes it comes again after only 18 days. The amount of blood varies, and the color is very dark. Please ask: How can I solve the problem of having a small amount of menstrual blood and dark color?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Menorrhagia is often caused by hypofunction of the pituitary gland, leading to insufficient estrogen secretion by the ovaries, which results in insufficient endometrial proliferation. Endometrial dysplasia, endometrial tuberculosis, and damage to the endometrium caused by rough scraping can also lead to short menstrual periods and menorrhagia. If adnexitis interferes with ovarian function, the above symptoms may also occur. Dark-colored menstrual blood is mainly considered to be caused by prolonged retention of menstrual blood in the reproductive tract, which can be due to conditions such as retroverted uterus or endometritis. It is recommended that you go to the gynecology department of the hospital on the third day of your period on an empty stomach to undergo a detailed examination of six hormones to understand your endocrine status. Additionally, an ultrasound examination should be performed 3-7 days after your period is clean to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment.
