What is the reason for less menstrual flow and a shorter duration?

Patient's question:

Menstrual flow is light and the duration is short, lasting only two or three days. The blood is also very thin. What could be the reason? Will it affect pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Based on your description, a normal menstrual period typically lasts for 3-7 days, with a volume of about 20-80 milliliters, averaging 50 milliliters. You can compare this to see if it aligns. It's recommended to have an ultrasound to check the thickness of the endometrium, and to have a six-panel sex hormone test on the third day of your next menstrual period! Gynecological diseases are conditions that are prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. Patients should pay close attention to maintaining clean external genitalia and changing underwear frequently. Finally, I wish female patients a speedy recovery!
