Is a small amount of menstrual flow recently a gynecological disease?

Patient's question:

I found that my menstrual flow has been particularly light for the past two or three months. Previously, I hadn't taken any birth control pills or other medications. Recently, over the past one or two months, I've noticed that I experience severe abdominal pain every time I have my period, and the amount of blood flow is also very low. Is the recent lack of menstrual flow a gynecological problem?

Doctor's answer:

Menstrual volume is less accompanied by dysmenorrhea, which may be caused by blood and qi stagnation or thin endometrium, possibly indicating uterine cold and gynecological diseases. It is recommended to check an immediate pelvic ultrasound and 6 hormone tests to see if everything is normal. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral herbs that promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation should be taken for treatment. Avoid consuming excessively cold foods in your diet to prevent worsening uterine cold symptoms and alleviate abdominal pain. In addition to medication for gynecological diseases, patients should also pay attention to proper care, such as maintaining a balanced diet and keeping a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.
