Patient's question:
I'd like to ask what causes a short menstrual period with very little blood flow? Every time I have my period, it usually lasts about seven days, but the amount of blood is extremely minimal. Sometimes it even stops, yet there's still blood on the third day. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Menstrual volume is low, which may be caused by menstrual irregularities. It is recommended that you visit a gynecology department promptly for a test of the six sex hormones to carefully examine ovarian function. An ultrasound should also be performed to check the condition of the endometrium. After a clear diagnosis, symptomatic medication and dietary adjustments should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Long-term low menstrual volume can affect future fertility. During menstruation, personal hygiene must be paid attention to. It is especially important to avoid sexual activity and prevent abdominal colds. Gynecological diseases are prone to recurrence. During treatment, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet.
