Is a small menstrual flow a normal phenomenon?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
My sister's menstrual flow is always very light. It only lasts for one or two days. Is it normal for the menstrual flow to be so light?

Doctor's answer:

A normal menstrual cycle is between 21 to 35 days, with menstrual flow of 20 to 60 milliliters, and the duration of menstruation is 2 to 8 days. If the menstrual flow is not less than 20 milliliters, it is considered normal. Under normal circumstances, the total menstrual flow can permeate a small sanitary pad, which is a normal amount of menstrual flow. If the menstrual flow is around 5 milliliters or less, it is called hypomenorrhea. Having a menstrual flow that is too little is not normal. The cause needs to be identified. It is important to pay attention to personal living habits and maintain a healthy diet.
