Patient's question:
I am 40 years old and every time during my menstrual period, the amount of blood is very heavy. Is it normal to have a small amount of menstrual blood at 40?Doctor's answer:
If at the age of 40, menstrual volume decreases again but the menstrual cycle remains unchanged, and there are no abnormalities found in the six sex hormone tests or gynecological color Doppler ultrasound, this condition is considered normal. If the patient does not conceive, reduced menstrual volume does not require special treatment. Under normal circumstances, a 40-year-old woman's ovarian function has an average menstrual volume of 30-40ml per cycle. If the menstrual volume is less than 10ml per cycle, it is considered excessive. First, exclude the possibility of gynecological endocrine disorders. The main examination includes ovarian function tests, such as early ovarian hormone and anti-Müllerian tube hormone tests, which can more accurately reflect ovarian function.
