How should I treat my low menstrual flow?

Patient's question:

Menstrual flow is very little, only three days, but the cycle is very normal. Don't know what's going on, the color is dark. In recent months, menstrual flow is very little, only three days, but the cycle is very normal. Don't know what's going on, the color is dark, how to handle it?

Doctor's answer:

Without special circumstances, it is generally not recommended to take medication to delay menstruation. However, there are situations where taking progesterone may be necessary. Taking progesterone to delay menstruation should ideally start at least one week before the expected period. During the medication period, menstruation will not occur, and it will typically begin 3-7 days after stopping the medication. In fact, having a low menstrual flow is not something to be feared. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the condition. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated appropriately, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
