Patient's question:
Previously, my menstrual cycle was still quite normal, and the amount of blood flow was also relatively normal. But now I have a cold, and I noticed that the amount of blood flow during my period is particularly low. What's the reason for having a lighter period when having a cold?Doctor's answer:
Although I noticed a decrease in menstrual flow during my cold, there is not much correlation between the reduced menstrual flow and the cold. If your menstrual flow is very light, it is recommended to first rule out pregnancy. If pregnancy is not ruled out, it is likely caused by emergency contraception. You can wait and see how your next menstrual cycle fully recovers. For gynecological patients, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to prioritize self-care training. For example, pay attention to maintaining cleanliness, avoid sexual intercourse, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods.
