Patient's question:
I usually have very regular periods with normal flow. Does smoking and taking birth control pills cause a decrease in menstrual flow? How is it treated?Doctor's answer:
Menstrual hypomenorrhea is often caused by hypofunction of the pituitary gland, insufficient estrogen secretion from the ovaries, low estrogen levels in the body, insufficient endometrial hyperplasia, and thin endometrium. Long-term use of contraceptive drugs can also lead to this condition.Don't smoke anymore. It's better to stop taking birth control pills. Restoring your body gradually will help. Gynecological diseases are conditions that 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, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
