Menstruation is important for women of appropriate age, but due to the excessive pressure of modern life and various external and internal factors, many women experience symptoms such as irregular menstruation to a certain extent. Excessive and insufficient menstrual flow are abnormal manifestations and signals of pathological changes. So, what is the menstrual volume? Is there a problem with the decrease in menstrual flow compared to usual?
Determine whether menstrual flow is normal based on the use of sanitary napkins
Menstruation is a normal physiological response to periodic uterine bleeding. Generally speaking, it is normal for a woman to have a menstrual flow of around 50 milliliters per session. For example, if a woman needs to use 20 to 30 sanitary napkins every time she menstruates, and most of the time the napkins are completely wet, then it indicates that her menstrual cycle is excessive. Generally, no more than 20 sanitary napkins are used per menstrual cycle, and only a small portion is in a wet state, indicating that menstrual flow is normal.
On the contrary, during each menstrual cycle, sanitary napkins cannot be used, and sanitary napkins are almost not in a moist state, resulting in a low menstrual flow. Having too little or too much menstrual flow is abnormal, and it is necessary to go to the hospital to identify the cause and seek timely treatment.
Is the decrease in menstrual flow compared to usual due to a problem
Sometimes women may notice that a decrease in one or more menstrual periods compared to before is a symptom of a problem? If this situation is found, we must determine whether it is only a single menstrual cycle less than before or a frequent one. If it is only occasionally, it is important to consider whether the diet structure and rest and sleep are good. If it is a continuous decrease in menstrual flow multiple times, it must be taken seriously.
The decrease in menstrual flow is very harmful to women. It may be caused by illness. For example, endometrial displacement, cervicitis, menstrual arthritis, menstrual rash, menstrual toothache, menstrual asthma, etc.
In addition, the decrease in menstrual flow, yellowing and darkening of women's skin, acne, and weight gain have a significant impact on their external image.
Finally, having too little menstruation may cause headaches, and more seriously, female infertility and early menopause are all very serious consequences. So, once women find that their menstrual flow continues to decrease several times in a row, they must take it seriously and go to the hospital for a comprehensive gynecological examination to determine the cause and prescribe the appropriate medication. You can also choose traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. Generally, traditional Chinese medicine cooking that promotes blood circulation, eliminates blood stasis, and nourishes qi and blood is also effective.
