What are the reasons for a small menstrual flow?

Patient's question:

I usually have very little menstrual flow, and I don't know why this is the case. Compared to my friends, my flow is a bit less, and I only have my period for three days each time. Moreover, the amount is really small, and I don't need to change my menstrual pads more than a few times a day.
Hello, what are the reasons for having very little menstrual flow?

Doctor's answer:

If you don't need to change sanitary pads even once a day, this situation might indicate that your menstrual flow is very light. The reasons for a light menstrual flow and a shorter cycle could be related to endocrine issues. If the endocrine system is disrupted, it can directly affect normal menstruation. Additionally, it may also be related to gynecological diseases, such as gynecological infections or conditions like uterine adhesions, which can also lead to a light menstrual flow. Gynecological diseases are prone to occur, and during medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
