Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle is always irregular, either delayed or early. Sometimes it comes again in just 10 days, and the amount of blood varies. The color is also very dark. Please ask: In what condition is it considered as having a low menstrual flow?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Under normal circumstances, the amount of blood loss during a menstrual period is approximately 60 milliliters, with less than 30 milliliters being considered too little and less than 80 milliliters being too much. Generally, a low amount of menstrual blood is due to low estrogen levels or uterine developmental issues. Estrogen stimulates the fibrosis and thickening of the endometrium to prepare for childbirth. If childbirth does not occur, the fibrotic endometrium peels off and breaks, forming the menstrual flow. Low estrogen levels in the body can lead to insufficient endometrial thickening, resulting in less peeling during menstruation, which may affect childbirth in the future. It is recommended that you identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment!
