Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am a woman. I recently noticed that my menstrual flow is less than before, and I don't know why. I searched online but couldn't find a reason. I am very troubled. Please help me. Is it normal for my menstrual flow to be less now?Doctor's answer:
A small amount of menstrual flow may be related to low estrogen or thinning of the endometrium. If anemia or qi and blood deficiency occurs, it may also lead to a reduced menstrual flow. If it only happens occasionally, it may not be a concern. However, prolonged menstrual flow reduction is abnormal and requires prompt medical examination to identify the cause. Proper nourishment and consumption of foods that replenish qi and blood are recommended.
