Menstrual volume is low and the color is dark, what is the reason?

Patient's question:

The daughter's menstrual flow is light and the color is dark. This has been going on for several months. Each time she menstruates, it becomes irregular. The menstrual flow is particularly light, sometimes lasting only two days. The color looks much darker than normal. What could be the reason for the light and dark menstrual flow in the daughter?

Doctor's answer:

Women of childbearing age have a reduced menstrual flow. Menstrual cycle disorders should first be ruled out for polycystic ovary syndrome. It is recommended to visit the gynecology outpatient department of a nearby regular hospital for follow-up. Blood tests for six female hormones and a gynecological MRI should be conducted to aid in diagnosis. Once diagnosed, oral ethinyl estradiol cyproterone tablets should be prescribed for menstrual regulation treatment. Maintain a healthy diet and regular lifestyle. Avoid excessive dieting and prevent excessive weight gain as well.
