About three months
Current general condition: Lower back pain on the third day of menstruation

Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can cause a decrease in menstrual flow, such as endocrine disorders, gynecological inflammation, and a decrease in the amount of menstrual blood. This is caused by low estrogen levels, which can stimulate the proliferation and thickening of the endometrium to prepare for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the proliferated endometrium will shed and bleed, forming a menstrual period. Low estrogen levels in the body can lead to insufficient endometrial thickening, resulting in less bleeding during menstruation. For your condition, it is recommended to undergo an endocrine examination to check whether the hormone levels in your body are normal.
