What is the reason for having a menstrual period that lasts only 3 days?

Patient's question:

I have always had a normal menstrual flow and cycle length, but this time when I had my period, the amount of blood was very little, and it only lasted for three days. This makes me very worried that I might have some kind of illness. Hello, what could cause a menstrual period to last only three days?

Doctor's answer:

Consider this situation is caused by irregular menstruation or gynecological diseases, or it may be due to contact with cold things during menstruation, which stimulates the menstrual flow phenomenon. Do not be too anxious, as it generally does not require special treatment. You can take sufficient oral medications. During menstruation, you can drink a lot of brown sugar water or motherwort tea to promote the discharge of lochia. In daily life, it is essential to maintain a regular schedule and avoid staying up late.
