Patient's question:
I have had my period for five years. At first, I thought I was still young, and the light flow was because it was in the adjustment period. But recently, when I mentioned this to a friend, they said it wasn't normal. I want to know if there are any methods to treat a light menstrual flow?Doctor's answer:
The normal menstrual flow is 20-80 milliliters. If the menstrual flow is less than 20 milliliters throughout the entire menstrual period, it is considered menstrual hypomenorrhea. It is recommended to take blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medications for treatment. Additionally, it is necessary to undergo an MRI examination at the hospital, as thinning of the endometrium can also lead to reduced menstrual flow. On the third day of the menstrual period, a six-item sex hormone test should be conducted. If hormonal secretion and endocrine disorders are found, hormone-regulating medications may be required for regulation.
