Why is the menstrual flow volume low?

Patient's question:

Menstrual volume is sometimes low, accompanied by menstrual cramps, cold hands and feet. Previously, I would experience side leakage at night, but now I use a pad for three days, and after that, there's barely any for the next two to three days, and then it's just a little bit for the following days, not completely gone. I usually avoid cold foods before my period, but I never touch anything cold, yet my menstrual volume is still low. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

If the menstrual flow is low, it should be considered menstrual irregularity. The normal menstrual flow should be between 20 to 60 milliliters. An ultrasound examination can be performed to check the condition of the bilateral adnexa of the uterus, and if necessary, six sex hormones can be tested. Gynecological diseases are a common gynecological condition. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during the treatment period and pay attention to cleanliness.
