Patient's question:
I have recently experienced symptoms of menstrual irregularity again over the past few months. Each time I have my period, the amount of blood flow is particularly light, and the menstrual blood is dark red and contains blood clots. I don't know what could be causing this. Could you please help me understand what's going on? How should I treat menstrual irregularity with insufficient flow?Doctor's answer:
Excessive light menstrual flow may be a sign of menstrual disorders, which could be caused by endocrine imbalance. It cannot be ruled out either, such as uterine adhesions or pregnancy. First, it is necessary to visit a hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination. On the third day of menstruation, hormone six tests and thyroid function tests should be conducted. If all these tests are normal, but the endometrium is too thin, it may be necessary to undergo artificial cycle therapy. If the effect of artificial cycle therapy is not ideal, it may be necessary to have a hysteroscopy examination.
