Patient's question:
I have had regular menstrual cycles in the recent period, but the amount of blood flow has significantly increased, and the period of bleeding has shortened considerably. Moreover, during the menstrual interval, I have experienced lower abdominal heaviness and pain, as well as lower back and sacral discomfort. My leukorrhea has also increased, mostly being light yellow. Later, I learned from the hospital that I had endometritis.What assistance is needed: What are the causes of endometritis?
Doctor's answer:
The thickness of the endometrium is directly related to estrogen. A low menstrual flow is often seen when the endometrium becomes thin, which affects fertility. A reduced amount of menstrual blood is due to low estrogen levels or uterine underdevelopment. Estrogen can stimulate the proliferation and thickening of the endometrium, preparing it for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the proliferated endometrium will shed and bleed, forming a menstrual period. Low estrogen levels in the body can lead to insufficient endometrial thickening, resulting in less bleeding during menstruation. This condition can later affect fertility. It is recommended to adjust medication based on the results of endocrine tests.
