What is the reason for a shorter menstrual cycle after increased physical activity?

Patient's question:

I am 20 years old. Last year, I had a medication-induced abortion. This year, I had a surgical abortion.
My menstrual cycle has never been very regular. Previously, it usually lasted about 6 days each month. But now, although it has become more stable, the cycle is only 20 days long, and the flow has also decreased. It usually ends completely within three days.
I would like to ask, what could be causing this? Is it normal??????

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your menstrual cycle is a bit short. It's still normal if your period is delayed by one week, and there's no problem. However, the amount of menstrual flow is a bit low.
You have anemia, so it's recommended that you replenish your iron. You can buy Ejiao (Chinese donkey-hide gelatin) blood-replenishing oral liquid or use prepared rehmannia glutinosa and polygonatum multiflorum to stew lean meat soup. These are all good for replenishing blood and can help regulate your condition. Give it some time and see how it goes.
