Patient's question:
My sister is 39 years old this year. A few days ago, when she was talking to me, she mentioned that her menstrual flow is relatively light. Usually, her period ends in two days, but it's normal, and she gets her period very regularly every month. I'm not sure if this condition is good or not. I want to ask if it's normal to have a regular period with a light flow?Doctor's answer:
The menstrual cycle is normal, but the menstrual flow is light. Most likely, it could be due to relatively low estrogen levels in the body, which leads to a decrease in flow. It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination of six female hormone indicators. If the estrogen level is low, estrogen-containing medication should be used for symptomatic treatment, which is beneficial for stabilization. The treatment course is 3~6 months. In daily life, it is also necessary to consume more eggs, milk, lean meat, soy products, etc., and maintain a balanced and diverse diet.
