Patient's question:
Female, 26, married for one yearPreviously, her menstruation was very regular, with fixed timing. However, this month, the timing was correct, but it was significantly lighter than before and ended after only a few days. What could be the reason? What should she check? Thank you
Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can cause reduced menstrual flow, such as endocrine disorders, gynecological inflammation, changes in the mental environment, anemia, and others. Additionally, it may be related to the condition of 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 reduced menstrual flow may result in amenorrhea or infertility. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for examination to identify the underlying cause and actively treat it accordingly to avoid affecting your health. Conditions like endometritis should also be considered. Find the cause and treat it specifically.
