I have had a low flow and abnormal color for the past few months, appearing as brownish-red.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The amount of menstrual blood is low due to low estrogen levels. Estrogen 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 menstruation. Low estrogen levels in the body can lead to insufficient endometrial thickening, resulting in less bleeding during menstruation. It is recommended that you undergo an endocrine examination to check whether your hormone levels are normal.
