Patient's question:
Married but no children. Irregular menstruation (every 1-2 months), this time with a 3-month interval. Dark brown, watery "menstrual blood," without color, very minimal amount. It might be blood stasis. What could be the cause? What aspects should be checked?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, a light menstrual flow is usually caused by low estrogen levels. Estrogen stimulates the proliferation and thickening of the endometrium. The proliferated endometrium then sheds, resulting in menstrual bleeding. 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 your hormone levels are normal.
