What should I do if my menstrual period is short but the flow is light?

Patient's question:

Menstrual flow is not heavy, it always comes 2-3 days earlier each month, and it always takes 11-12 days to clean up, dripping slowly.

Doctor's answer:

General reasons are commonly associated with conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, endometrial hyperplasia, and endometriosis. If the examination does not reveal any organic lesions, functional uterine bleeding should be considered. This refers to abnormal uterine bleeding caused by a dysfunction in the endocrine regulatory system, where there are no apparent organic lesions in the internal or external genitalia. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects the patient's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
