Patient's question:
Menstrual cycle of 45 days, flow is light for one day and heavy for less than two days, color is bright red. Ultrasound shows no lesions in the uterus and adnexa. Six hormones show high progesterone. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can cause a decrease in menstrual flow, such as endocrine disorders, gynecological inflammation, changes in the mental environment, anemia, and others. Additionally, it could be due to issues with the endometrium itself, such as endometrial tuberculosis causing endometrial lesions or conditions like artificial abortion and curettage leading to thinning of the endometrium. Long-term menstrual flow reduction may result in amenorrhea or infertility.The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects a patient's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo routine examinations in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
