What causes a very small menstrual flow?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:
Hello! My menstrual cycle has always been regular, but this month, my period started on November 6th and was very light—almost non-existent, with only a little color that has persisted until now. I had an ultrasound, which showed no abnormalities, and I received three shots of progesterone, but my menstrual flow did not increase; it remained very minimal. Please ask; what could be the reason for this? I would appreciate your reply.
Duration of the current illness and persistence:
Current general condition:

Doctor's answer:

Generally, if you experience symptoms of menstrual irregularity such as reduced menstrual flow and shortened menstrual periods, it is likely caused by endocrine disorders.
If the symptoms have persisted for a relatively long time, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a sex hormone test (which can be done on the second day of your menstrual period). Based on the test results, you can undergo regulation. In the meantime, it is important to maintain adequate sleep and rest, engage in moderate exercise, and keep a calm and cheerful mindset. You may also consider eating more soy products and honey, and drinking soy milk regularly, as it contains phytoestrogen, which is very beneficial for women's body regulation.
