Menstruation is a normal phenomenon in women, and abnormalities can occur when menstruation arrives. Low menstrual flow is common, and we must also know the reason for it.
Reasons for low menstrual flow
1. Ovarian function decline: As women age, ovarian function declines and menstrual flow directly decreases, which is a normal physiological phenomenon.
2. Uterine dysplasia: Menstruation is essentially a bleeding phenomenon caused by the peeling of the endometrium, which changes with the ovarian cycle. If the uterine development is incomplete, that is to say, after puberty, the uterus is still smaller than normal, and the small uterus will inevitably lead to less endometrial shedding, directly manifested as less menstruation. Secondly, endometrial damage caused by endometrial lesions, induced abortion, curettage, and other factors can also reduce menstrual flow.
3. Endocrine disorders: The biggest cause of low menstrual flow is endocrine disorders, which means low levels of estrogen secretion in the body. Low estrogen levels make it difficult for the female endometrium to proliferate, and weak endometrium will inevitably not reach the amount required for normal menstruation, resulting in low menstrual flow. There are many reasons for hormone secretion, such as excessive dieting of obese people, irregular life of workaholics and related Reproductive system disease. In this case, you can go to the hospital for an endocrine hormone test to rule out the possibility of other lesions.
4. Changes in mental environment: Sudden or long-term mental states such as mental tension and increased stress may also lead to estrogen secretion imbalance and reduced menstrual flow in women. Women should combine work and rest to relax and maintain a healthy mood.
5. Excessive weight loss: Due to various reasons, many women have strict requirements for their bodies. Women's menstruation is closely related to their weight and body fat content. Especially women with menstrual problems should stop losing weight, strengthen nutrition, and restore their health.
6. Artificial abortion: After induced abortion, the ovaries generally resume ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation takes about 1 month. However, a few women who experience prolonged menstrual periods, varying cycle lengths, amenorrhea, etc. after induced abortion generally return to normal after 2-3 months.
7. Chest lesions: Many women experience breast swelling and pain before menstruation, but their menstrual flow is low. As a result, symptoms such as breast swelling and pain may appear, which may be due to liver stagnation and qi stagnation. It is necessary to regulate the liver and qi, and achieve overall economic adjustment through blood circulation.
