Patient's question:
Since five years ago, the menstrual period has gradually decreased. It only lasts for three or four days each time, and the amount is also low. Sometimes, sanitary pads are not needed, only liners are sufficient. The color is dark, and it comes seven days later each time. I have tried drinking brown sugar water and eating motherwort, but it has no effect. What could be the reason for the low and short menstrual period?Doctor's answer:
A normal menstrual flow is between 20-70ml, with a duration of 2-7 days. If it is less than 20ml, it is considered menstrual hypomenorrhea, which is abnormal. It could be due to various serious conditions such as endometritis, endometrial polyps, or hormonal endocrine disorders, as well as factors like malnutrition. It is recommended that you do not blindly take medication and instead visit the hospital for relevant examinations. Timely symptomatic treatment should be administered based on the examination results.
