What kind of help is needed: Is this condition abnormal? What tests or treatments should be done?
Doctor's answer:
A small amount of menstrual blood is generally caused by low estrogen levels. Estrogen can stimulate the fibrosis and thickening of the endometrium, preparing it 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 levels of hormones in your body. Gynecological diseases are a common type of gynecological condition. During medication, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good hygiene. Wishing female patients a speedy recovery!
