Why is my menstrual period so little?

Patient's question:

I used to have normal menstruation, but after a few induced abortions, it became very scarce. When it comes, I only need to use regular pads, and there's no need for menstrual cups. It's also brown in color. Will this affect future fertility? What treatment should I follow now? Thank you all for your guidance, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a small or excessive amount of menstrual flow is often due to hypofunction of the pituitary gland, leading to insufficient secretion of estrogen by the ovaries, which results in inadequate endometrial hyperplasia. It is recommended to visit a doctor for testing of the six sex hormones and an ultrasound to clarify the diagnosis, and to regulate the menstrual cycle according to medical advice.
