Patient's question:
The menstrual cycle always comes four to five days earlier each time, with very little flow, occasional small blood clots, pale color, and it disappears within two days. There is some lower abdominal bloating and discomfort.Past Treatment and Effects: In 2003, an incomplete medication abortion led to heavy bleeding, followed by a D&C (dilation and curettage) and then the insertion of an intrauterine device. After that, it was noticed that the menstrual flow had decreased compared to before.
Desired Help: How to regulate and nourish the body, and what dietary recommendations would be beneficial?
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, preparing it for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the fibrotic endometrium peels off, forming menstruation. Low estrogen levels in the body 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 normal levels of hormones in your body. The recurrence of gynecological diseases severely threatens women's health. Patients should pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene in daily life and avoid sexual activity. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
