Patient's question:
Recently I found that my menstrual flow is not very heavy, the color is also rather light, and it often delays. Is this considered menstrual irregularity? Please ask: What should I do if I have light menstrual flow in the early stages of irregularity?Doctor's answer:
Hello, some reasons that can lead to a decrease in menstrual volume include endocrine disorders, gynecological inflammation, and a decrease in menstrual flow, which is caused by low estrogen levels. Estrogen can stimulate the fibrosis and thickening of the endometrium, preparing it for conception. If conception does not occur, the fibrotic endometrium peels off and breaks, forming the menstrual flow. Low estrogen levels in the body can result in insufficient endometrial thickening, leading to less peeling during menstruation. In your case, it is recommended to undergo a thorough endocrine examination to check the normal levels of hormones in your body.
