Menstruation is menstruation. Low menstrual flow may be caused by endocrine disorders, or it may be a symptom of certain diseases, such as lowered estrogen levels, uterine dysplasia, ovulation disorders, and so on.
1. Endocrine disorders: If you have endocrine disorders due to excessive stress, mental tension, long hours of late nights, or disorganized lifestyle, it is easy to cause low menstrual flow. You need to adjust the habits of life, correct the bad habit of staying up late, and properly relax your mood. You can also exercise properly to promote the recovery of endocrine disorders.
2. Pathological factors:
(1) Decreased estrogen level: If symptoms of low menstrual flow occur, it may be caused by decreased estrogen level. Estrogen can stimulate the proliferation of the endometrium. If the secretion of estrogen is abnormal, it will cause the proliferation of the endometrium to fall short of the required thickness, thus leading to low menstrual flow.
(2) Uterine dysplasia: Menstruation is the shedding of the endometrium and bleeding that occurs along with the changes in the ovarian cycle. If the uterus is underdeveloped, such as a small uterus or malformed uterus, only a small amount of endometrial lining will be shed during each physiological cycle, resulting in a low menstrual flow.
(3) Ovulation disorders: Generally, women’s menstrual cycle is less than 21 days, there is no mature follicle or corpus luteum, there is no progesterone secretion, and estrogen level increases or decreases with follicle growth and atrophy, and when the estrogen level suddenly decreases, retractive bleeding occurs and menstruation occurs, and the menstrual flow is very small in this case.
If you have a scanty menstrual flow, you should consult a doctor to clarify the cause of the problem and, if necessary, undergo the appropriate tests.
