Patient's question:
Approximately from the summer of 2009 to now, my menstrual flow has been very light every time. Generally, the amount on the first day is normal, but by the third day, it has already become very little, and by the fourth day, it's almost gone. However, my cycle has always been very regular, about 30 days each time, and I have no history of painful periods.Hello, is a light menstrual flow a normal or abnormal condition? What could be the cause, and what kind of care should be taken?
Doctor's answer:
Originally it was normal, but now menstrual volume has decreased again. You are young, so it cannot be ignored that it may be related to endocrine issues. Therefore, you should first check an ultrasound and hormone levels. Sometimes, excessively high androgen levels can lead to reduced menstrual volume, so it is important to rule out this factor first. If the hormone levels and ultrasound results are normal, you can take some blood-activating and blood-stimulating herbs. Visiting a traditional Chinese medicine department can help, and the herbs are not expensive. After adjusting for a period, it should improve. Gynecological diseases are prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. Patients should pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, I wish female patients a speedy recovery!
