Patient's question:
I am 25 years old and married. Previously, my periods always arrived a day or two early, and each cycle lasted about a week. Last July, I accidentally got pregnant and had an unsuccessful medication abortion followed by a D&C procedure. Since then, my periods have shortened to three or four days, with a manageable flow, which is considered relatively normal. However, during my period in August this year, I accidentally consumed a lot of cold drinks, and my bleeding immediately decreased. Starting from September, my menstrual flow has been getting lighter (I haven’t gone to the hospital for a check-up since the D&C because I’m afraid of seeing doctors). This month, my period arrived five days early, with very little flow and only lasting for two days. I haven’t experienced any discomfort or inflammation symptoms. Please help me.Doctor's answer:
Hello! There are many reasons for a small menstrual flow, such as emotional instability, environmental factors, excessive stress, gynecological inflammation, endocrine disorders, etc. It is important to maintain a good mood and eat less spicy food. Based on your situation, it is likely related to your lifestyle.
