Patient's question:
Hello: I have had this issue for almost a year now. When my period comes, it always arrives 3-5 days earlier than usual, but the amount of blood flow is very light. However, it takes 7 or 8 days to clean up completely. The color is normal, and I don't feel any abdominal pain or have any problems with my cervix. Could you please tell me what might be the reason and how it should be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a small or excessive amount of menstrual flow is often due to hypofunction of the pituitary gland, leading to insufficient secretion of estrogen by the ovaries, which results in inadequate endometrial proliferation. It is recommended to consult a doctor for a check-up of the six sex hormones and an ultrasound to clarify the diagnosis, and follow the doctor's advice to regulate the menstrual cycle.The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects a woman's physical 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 cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
