Patient's question:
Got married at 32, had one miscarriage at 33, gave birth to a 23-week male infant at 34. My period returned 7 months after delivery, and I breastfed throughout. The child passed away at 1 year and 2 months, which led to marital problems. At 36, my period became lighter due to factors like stress from anger, high psychological pressure, and poor sleep quality. I had blood tests for sex hormones in both 2011 and 2012, and the doctors said everything was normal. The first two times, the doctors prescribed two months of progesterone pills and Ba Zhen Yi Mu Jiao capsules. My period slightly increased while taking the medication, but now that the progesterone pills are finished, my period is very light again.Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can cause a decrease in menstrual volume, such as endocrine disorders, gynecological inflammation, changes in the mental environment, anemia, and others. Additionally, it may 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 volume reduction may result in amenorrhea or infertility. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for examination to identify the underlying cause and receive active symptomatic treatment.
