What causes a small menstrual flow and does it affect the body?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my menstrual cycle is quite normal, but the amount of blood flow is very little. After taking Chinese medicine for some time, it hasn't improved. I would like to consult you a few things. What could cause the little amount of menstrual blood flow, and does it affect the body? I hope the doctor can give me some advice, and I look forward to your reply.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you have a long period of low menstrual flow, it is necessary to go to the hospital for timely examination to identify the cause. Generally, this symptom is caused by low estrogen levels and thin endometrium. For low menstrual flow, it is recommended to take estrogen-regulating medication in sufficient quantity and observe the condition carefully. You can also consume more foods that replenish qi and blood, such as red dates and eggs, which are effective. Additionally, it is advised to drink brown sugar water during the menstrual period.
