What are the reasons for a decrease in menstrual flow?

Patient's question:

These past two months, I feel that my menstrual flow has been much less than before. My menstrual flow was always very normal before, but recently, I don't know what's going on. It has been like this for two consecutive months. I am very worried that it might be caused by a gynecological disease, so I would like to consult about what could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a decrease in menstrual flow is likely caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis. In addition to possible endocrine disorders, I recommend you visit a gynecology outpatient department for blood tests to check the six hormones and a detailed ultrasound examination. Generally, the six hormones are tested through fasting blood draw on the third or fourth day of the menstrual cycle, as the results at this time are more accurate. Then, treatment can be administered based on the results. Wishing you good health.
