Patient's question:
I am a particularly thin girl, and I usually eat very little. My body constitution is naturally weak, and my menstrual cycle is also quite irregular, especially with very low flow. Sometimes it ends in just one or two days. My mom is very worried, fearing that I might have difficulty getting pregnant in the future. How should I deal with low menstrual flow each month?Doctor's answer:
The reasons for a small menstrual flow are mostly due to hormonal imbalances, with relatively low estrogen levels. The other factor is very thin endometrium. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination to check the thickness of the endometrium. Generally, if the endometrium is very thin, the menstrual flow will be very little, and there may also be menstrual irregularities. If the endometrium is normal, it is likely due to low estrogen levels. In this case, dietary control can be helpful, and it is advisable to consume more soy products regularly.
