Breastfeeding with hands produces milk, but menstrual flow is less, what's the reason?

Patient's question:

I tend to be cold-sensitive, my complexion isn't very good either, and I have many spots. Especially during my period, it's always irregular, dark in color, and the flow is very light. Could you please tell me: What causes a light menstrual flow?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, a small amount of menstrual flow is usually caused by low estrogen levels. Hormones can stimulate the fibrosis and thickening of the endometrium, and the fibrotic endometrium peels off and breaks, forming menstruation. It is recommended that you pay attention to follow medical advice and undergo a thorough examination at a formal hospital after menstruation has completely ended. Then, treatment can be determined based on the situation. Pay attention to rest, enhance nutrition, maintain regular dietary and sleep patterns, and always keep a pleasant mood. The recurrence of gynecological diseases severely harms women's health. Patients need to pay attention to maintaining clean external genitalia in daily life and preventing sexual transmission. It is hoped that female patients can receive professional treatment.
