Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that my menstrual flow isn't very heavy, the color is also quite light, and it often gets delayed. Is this a case of irregular menstruation? Also, what could be the reason if the menstrual flow is light and contains blood clots?Doctor's answer:
The average length of the menstrual cycle is 28 days, with a normal range of 21 to 35 days. The duration of menstruation varies from person to person, generally lasting 2 to 7 days. The amount of menstrual flow is usually 30 to 50 milliliters, with a normal range of 5 to 80 ml. Once there are changes in the menstrual cycle, duration, or flow, it is necessary to undergo a gynecological ultrasound examination and endocrine examination for a definitive diagnosis. Gynecological diseases are a common condition that can easily occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
