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 disease? Please ask: My period flow is light, but it lasts for 7 or 8 days. How can I take care of it?Doctor's answer:
Some reasons for reduced menstrual flow include endocrine disorders, gynecological inflammation, changes in the mental environment, anemia, and others. Additionally, it may be due to issues with the endometrium itself, such as endometrial tuberculosis causing inflammation or conditions like artificial abortion and (D&C) leading to thinning of the endometrium. Long-term reduced menstrual flow may result in amenorrhea or infertility. It is important to consult a clinical diagnostic doctor for a thorough examination to identify the underlying cause and actively treat it accordingly to avoid affecting your health. Conditions like endometritis may also be a factor. Once the cause is found, targeted treatment can be administered.
