What is the reason for a small menstrual flow?

Patient's question:

My menstrual period in August was less than three days, and the time when the cervix was filled with transparent liquid was also not on time. Doctor, I was treated for cervical erosion with the loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). Hello, does my menstrual period interfere with the LEEP?

Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, the amount of menstrual bleeding is approximately 60 milliliters, ranging from less than 30 milliliters to less than 80 milliliters to too much. Generally, low menstrual flow is caused by low estrogen levels or uterine developmental issues. Estrogen can affect the proliferation and thickening of the endometrium to prepare for pregnancy. If not pregnant, the fibrotic endometrium will shed and seep blood, forming menstruation. Low estrogen levels in the body can lead to insufficient endometrial proliferation during the period, which will interfere with future early pregnancy.
