Patient's question:
Previously, my menstrual cycle was quite regular every month. But after giving birth to my baby, after one year of menstruation, the amount of blood flow has become very minimal, stopping after just two days. The color is whitish. When I had an ultrasound at the hospital, it was normal. What could be the reason for this? What should I do about the reduced and whitish menstrual flow? Is it necessary to have other detailed examinations at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Menstrual volume is reduced and the color is whitish, which may be due to several reasons. The body is relatively weak and anemic: repeated induced abortion procedures have damaged the endometrium. This leads to a thin endometrium, causing it to shed more easily during menstruation, resulting in increased peeling. The ovarian function is relatively poor, with low levels of estrogen and progesterone being secreted, leading to slow endometrial growth and an increased likelihood of reduced menstrual volume and whitish color. It is recommended that you see a doctor for a thorough examination to identify the cause and then receive targeted treatment.
