What should I do if my menstrual flow is very light and almost non-existent at night?

Patient's question:

Menstrual flow is very light, almost none at night, and it stops after two or three days each time. This has been going on for a long time. Sometimes it doesn't come for a whole month. What's going on? It only takes a small sanitary pad to cover the flow each day, and the amount is really very little. Should I have my endocrine checked during my period or at another time?

Doctor's answer:

On the 2nd to 3rd day of the menstrual period, blood is drawn on an empty stomach for the six sex hormone tests.
Advice: Arrange your schedule reasonably, maintain regular dietary and living habits, and avoid overexertion. Always keep a cheerful mood. Do not work overtime. For gynecological patients, in addition to medication for relief, it is also important to prioritize self-care training, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and eating less spicy and irritating foods. Finally, remind female patients to have follow-up tests regularly.
