Patient's question:
In recent days, it should be time for my period, but the flow is very light, the color is dark yellow, not red, and it's a bit whitish.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, a light menstrual flow is usually caused by low estrogen levels. Estrogen stimulates the fibrosis and thickening of the endometrium to prepare for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the fibrotic endometrium peels off, forming menstruation. Low estrogen levels in the body can prevent the endometrium from thickening sufficiently, resulting in less peeling during menstruation. For your condition, it is recommended to undergo a thorough endocrine examination to check the hormonal levels in your body. Gynecological diseases are a common gynecological condition, and during medication, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
