Patient's question:
What are the reasons for a 33-year-old woman having a small amount of menstrual blood, light color, and prolonged duration?Doctor's answer:
A smaller menstrual flow is likely due to lower estrogen levels or thinning of the endometrium. It is best to undergo an ultrasound and hormone test to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. If this occurs frequently, you should have a gynecological examination to determine the underlying cause and then receive appropriate treatment. You can also consume more blood-nourishing foods in your daily diet, such as fish, liver, eggs, and kelp. In this case, it is best to check the levels of the six hormones and thyroid function on the second to fourth day of your next menstrual period. Simple endometrial hyperplasia is benign, so maintaining a regular lifestyle, practicing good hygiene, and avoiding cold exposure are important.
