Patient's question:
I used to have very regular periods, but recently, for some reason, they've been getting more and more off. There are issues with the timing, flow, and color. Could it be that I'm getting some kind of illness? Please ask: If the menstrual flow is light, lasting only 2 days, is that considered normal?Doctor's answer:
When menstrual flow is low, the pituitary gland function is impaired, leading to insufficient excretion of estrogen by the ovaries, which results in insufficient endometrial hyperplasia. It could also be caused by inflammation of the uterus itself, poor endometrial development, endometrial tuberculosis, etc. It is recommended not to self-medicate to avoid discomfort. Instead, seek medical attention at a formal hospital for thorough examination and diagnosis, followed by symptomatic treatment. The recurrence of gynecological diseases severely harms women's health. Patients should pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene in daily life and avoid sexual activity. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
