Patient's question:
I usually have a seven-day menstrual period, and the flow is heavier on the third day and again on the third day, while it is less during the following days. However, recently I've noticed that my menstrual period has shortened to three days, and the amount of flow is particularly light.Hello, what should I do if my menstrual flow is too light and the period is too short?
Doctor's answer:
The duration of menstrual bleeding is considered normal if it ranges from 3 to 7 days. It may be related to hormonal fluctuations. Currently, three days of bleeding is not considered abnormal, but if the bleeding volume is particularly light, it may be associated with insufficient qi and blood, emotional factors, living environment changes, climate changes, hormonal imbalances, etc. You can consider taking Chinese herbal medicine to replenish qi and blood and regulate menstruation to stabilize the condition. Pay attention to keeping warm and maintaining a positive mood. If the condition does not improve, further hormone excretion tests can be conducted.
