What are the reasons for a small menstrual flow?

Patient's question:

Menstrual volume is low, abnormal, and hasn't come for a long time. She had her first period at the age of 12, and it has still been abnormal until now. I don't know what the reason is?

Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation during adolescence is very common. Generally, it should normalize within 2 years after the first period. You can go to the hospital for a check-up and have a blood test for the six major sex hormones to see if the hormone levels are too low, in which case treatment can be administered. You can also try regulating your period with traditional Chinese medicine or herbal medicine. For gynecological patients, in addition to proper treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and eating less spicy and irritating foods.
