Patient's question:
1st of January came on the 22nd, finished on the 25th. This month, on the 22nd of February, came today. For the past 3-4 months, the menstrual flow has always been very little, lasting only 3-4 days each time. The amount of flow is just about 2-3 sanitary pads?Doctor's answer:
A normal menstrual cycle is 25-35 days, with the menstrual period lasting 3-7 days. Using 2-3 sanitary pads a day is normal. If you feel your menstrual flow is less than before, you should get a sex hormone six-item test done within three days. Conditions like uterine cold, overtime work, taking emergency contraception pills, and a history of abortion can all lead to reduced menstrual flow. For gynecological patients, in addition to medication for relief, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Finally, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations.
