Patient's question:
Two years ago, I had an ectopic pregnancy surgery, followed by two induced abortions. My menstrual cycle usually comes a few days earlier, and it usually ends within 3 days, not very heavy, very clean. In the past year and a half, it has been like this. I haven't had any gynecological problems. I hope to get some help: If there is any problem, I expect to receive medical assistance. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the menstrual cycle is basically normal but the amount of blood flow is significantly reduced, even to the point of stopping after a few drops; or if the menstrual period is shorter than two days with a small amount of blood flow, it is called hypomenorrhea. Diseases such as dysfunctional uterine bleeding, polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure, or post-abortion uterine adhesion or excessive blood loss can all lead to hypomenorrhea.Advice: I recommend seeking further detailed examination at a professional gynecology department. For cases of reduced blood flow, blood tests are generally performed to check follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estrogen, prolactin, and progesterone to determine whether the issue lies with the ovaries or the pituitary gland. Additionally, charting basal body temperature can help observe whether menopause is occurring or if there is a recurrence of progesterone deficiency.
