Menstrual volume is small, what are the reasons for this?

Patient's question:

What are the reasons for this month's menstrual period being light? Usually, my period is very heavy. This time it's very, very light.

Doctor's answer:

If you have a decreased menstrual flow during sexual activity, you need to have a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. If it's not pregnancy, occasionally having a decreased menstrual flow can be observed for now without adjusting the menstrual cycle. The dark color of the menstrual flow may be related to the longer retention time of the blood in the uterine cavity. It is recommended not to eat cold or cooling foods during the menstrual period, pay attention to abdominal protection, and appropriately enhance nutrition. Maintain good living habits. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
