Does cervical inflammation cause a decrease in menstrual flow?

Patient's question:

Only on the third day of the period, the flow is a bit heavier. On the other six days, the flow is very light. Does cervicitis cause a light menstrual flow?

Doctor's answer:

For menstruation, it is mainly controlled by the brain, pituitary gland, and ovaries, and is related to the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body. Generally, cervical inflammation does not affect menstrual volume. Based on your description, it may be a case of menstrual irregularity. This could be caused by organic inflammation, but it could also be due to luteal phase deficiency. You can go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination and blood tests for six sex hormones to identify the cause. After a clear diagnosis, you can undergo treatment for menstrual regulation under the guidance of a doctor.
