What should I eat if I have low menstrual flow?

Patient's question:

Doctor: Hello!
Because of an abortion, my menstrual flow has become very minimal. I would like to ask, what should I eat to regulate my menstrual flow in this situation? Is it difficult to get pregnant in the future with such a minimal menstrual flow? What should I do?
First follow-up question: Could I ask for some over-the-counter medications to regulate this? Is it very expensive to get checked at the hospital? The hormones you mentioned to increase the thickness can only be obtained at the hospital, right?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: There are two possible reasons for reduced menstrual flow after surgery. One is cervical or uterine adhesion, which can prevent or impede the flow of menstrual blood. Another possible reason is local endometrial damage leading to reduced menstrual flow. You can have an ultrasound during the mid-cycle to measure the thickness of the endometrium, and if necessary, undergo hysteroscopy. If endometrial adhesion is found, it can be separated under hysteroscopy, followed by the use of high-dose estrogen to promote endometrial growth. Whether it will affect future pregnancy depends on the results of the examination and treatment.
1. Engage in appropriate exercise, arrange work and life reasonably, improve the environment, increase nutrition, and remove chronic lesions.
2. Maintain a positive mood, avoid mental stress, and especially avoid excessive sadness, worry, anxiety, and irritation.
3. Stay calm when facing situations, be tolerant in dealing with others, and avoid overthinking or dwelling on things after the event, which may lead to persistent unhappiness.
