What to do if your menstrual flow is light at 43 years old

All of my female friends should know that people’s bodies undergo some changes after middle age, and the most obvious change women may feel is the decrease in menstrual volume. Some female friends may even experience amenorrhea. We know that a decrease in menstrual volume means aging of women's appearance, and we can regulate menstrual volume through diet or medicinal methods.

The total amount of menstrual blood for a normal person is between 50 and 60 ml. The amount of menstrual blood is not exactly the same for everyone, and even for the same person the amount of menstrual blood is not exactly the same each time. If the menstrual cycle is normal, the amount of blood in one menstrual period is less than 10 ml or so little that even two layers of paper cannot be wetted, which is considered a small amount of menstrual blood.

The causes and pathologies of scanty menstruation include both deficiency and excess. Deficiency is mostly due to physical weakness, serious illness, long-term illness, blood loss, or diet and fatigue that damage the spleen, or sexual fatigue that damages the kidneys, which leads to deficiency of the blood sea and reduced menstrual volume; excess is mostly due to blood stasis in the body, or phlegm and dampness stagnation, which block the meridians, poor blood circulation, and reduced menstrual blood.

In general, the reasons for scanty menstruation are generally as follows:

1. Women who diet excessively will experience less menstrual flow.

2. Women who have irregular work and rest schedules are prone to having scanty menstruation, because women are exposed to cold stimulation during menstruation, which can cause excessive contraction of blood vessels in the pelvic cavity, resulting in scanty menstruation or even amenorrhea.

3. Sulking or encountering major spiritual stimulation and psychological trauma can easily lead to less menstrual flow in girls.

4. In addition, it may be due to the endometrium itself, such as endometrial tuberculosis causing endometrial lesions or artificial abortion or curettage causing thin endometrium.

5. Endocrine reasons, such as abnormal secretion of various hormones or anovulation.

6. Diseases such as tumors and uterine dysplasia.

How to regulate scanty menstruation?

1. Do not eat raw or cold food one week before your period (this is something you must pay attention to). For people with normal menstruation, there is nothing wrong with eating raw or cold food before or during menstruation, but for people with irregular menstruation, you must pay attention to this. >>>How to regulate irregular menstruation

2. Drink a cup of boiled water with brown sugar every day when your period comes.

3. It is best not to overwork yourself during menstruation.

4. A person’s mood and stress will affect the normality of menstruation, so try not to let yourself be too depressed.

5. It is best not to drink cold water during menstruation. Generally speaking, you can drink cold water during menstruation, but for people with irregular menstruation, it is best not to drink cold water.

6. During menstruation, you should keep warm, avoid cold, cool, raw, and cold stimulation to prevent the invasion of cold evil; pay attention to rest, reduce fatigue, strengthen nutrition, and enhance physical fitness; you should try to control drastic emotional fluctuations, avoid strong mental stimulation, and keep a happy mood; you should avoid excessive sexual intercourse at ordinary times, and sexual life is absolutely prohibited during menstruation.

The above provides some conditioning methods for all female friends. When women are young, their body's self-regulation level is very good, but if they do not pay attention to protecting their bodies when they are young, they are likely to relapse when they are old. Therefore, it is recommended that all female friends pay more attention to their diet and do not often eat raw, cold and irritating foods.
