Patient's question:
Menstrual flow is light and it's over in just two days, without any cramps, and it comes on a monthly basis. What could be the reason? If I go to the hospital for a thorough check-up, what tests should I get done?Doctor's answer:
Menstrual cycles are regular, with varying menstrual flow, which may indicate luteal phase deficiency and the need for progesterone supplementation. It is recommended to have blood tests for the six major sex hormones on the third day of the menstrual cycle to assess ovarian function, and a transvaginal ultrasound before menstruation to evaluate the thickness of the endometrium. Gynecological diseases are common conditions that require attention to self-care during treatment, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation.
