Patient's question:
I'm usually quite cold and my complexion isn't very good either. I have many spots, especially during my period, which is always irregular, dark in color, and with very little flow. Could you please explain: What exactly causes a light menstrual period?Doctor's answer:
If you have never taken any medication, such as emergency contraception, but have been experiencing menstrual irregularities (e.g., reduced menstrual flow), you may consider visiting a professional gynecological hospital for several thorough examinations: blood tests, checking follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrogen, prolactin, and progesterone, to determine whether the issue lies with the ovaries or the pituitary gland. Additionally, tracking your basal body temperature can help observe signs of menopause or a progesterone deficiency. Gynecological diseases are common conditions that can easily occur. During treatment, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery!
