Patient's question:
I used to have relatively normal menstruation, with a regular cycle, and it usually lasted about 5 days. The amount of blood flow was also quite heavy. However, since my last miscarriage, I've noticed that my menstrual cycle has become irregular. It often comes earlier, and the amount of blood flow is much lighter, mostly stopping by the third day. I want to ask if having a lighter menstrual flow could be a sign of a gynecological disease?Doctor's answer:
Generally, there may be the following reasons for a generally reduced menstrual flow: The most common cause is endocrine-related issues, such as abnormal hormone secretion or anovulation. Additionally, it could be due to problems with the endometrium itself, such as endometrial tuberculosis leading to endometrial inflammation or conditions like thin endometrium caused by induced abortion or curettage. It is recommended to undergo thorough medical examinations, including the six sex hormone tests and ultrasound, to identify the underlying cause. Once the diagnosis is clear, symptomatic treatment can be administered.In addition to seeking proper medical treatment for gynecological conditions, patients should also pay attention to self-care aspects, such as maintaining a balanced diet and keeping a positive mood. At the same time, patients should choose a top-tier hospital for diagnosis to ensure optimal treatment outcomes.
