Patient's question:
Five years ago, I got pregnant but the relationship wasn't harmonious, so we got divorced. I had an abortion and suffered greatly from emotional trauma. I couldn't sleep at night and lost my appetite. I took a few days of sleeping pills to help with sleep.Doctor's answer:
Hello, as you described, your examination shows that your estrogen levels are relatively low, which is directly related to your menstrual irregularities. Under normal circumstances, the amount of blood loss during a menstrual period is approximately 60 milliliters, less than 30 milliliters is considered too little, and more than 80 milliliters is considered too much. Generally, a low amount of menstrual blood is due to low estrogen levels or uterine developmental issues. Estrogen stimulates the proliferation and thickening of the endometrium to prepare for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the thickened endometrium will shed and bleed, forming a menstrual period. Low estrogen levels in the body can lead to insufficient endometrial thickening, resulting in less blood loss during menstruation. This condition can affect fertility in the future. It is recommended that you identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment!
