Patient's question:
Before, my period was always very normal, but recently I've been feeling lower abdominal pain and my period has been delayed. During my period, the cramps are severe. Could you please explain why the color of my period was lighter last month even though the amount was less?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you. Based on your description, the reduced menstrual flow is likely due to low estrogen levels, which leads to a thinner endometrium. The minimal amount of blood observed five to six days after the menstrual period, during the ovulation phase, is also caused by low estrogen levels. I recommend you visit a hospital for a six-item sex hormone test. Based on the test results, estrogen can be appropriately supplemented. Gynecological diseases are conditions that are prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, I wish female patients a speedy recovery!
