Can women with low menstrual flow undergo steam bath?

Patient's question:

I always have very little menstrual flow when I have my period. I want to try sweat bathing. Can I sweat bathe when I have a light menstrual flow?

Doctor's answer:

For women with a generally low menstrual flow, it is usually related to the thickness of the endometrium, or it may be caused by endocrine system disorders leading to reduced menstrual flow. It is unlikely that sweat therapy helps with low menstrual flow. It is important to undergo hormone six tests and a gynecological ultrasound to confirm whether the menstrual irregularity is caused by a lack of hormones. Generally, a thin endometrium is related to a lack of estrogen, and estrogen needs to be supplemented to thicken the endometrium.
