Patient's question:
I used to have very regular periods, but recently things have been getting more and more off. There are issues with the timing, flow, and color. Could it be that I have some kind of illness? Please ask: Is it normal to have a light flow with only three days each time?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 endometritis, endometrial tuberculosis causing endometrial inflammation, or 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 visit a hospital for a thorough examination to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment to avoid affecting your health. Find the cause and treat it accordingly.
