My period suddenly became less

Many women are prone to a sudden decrease in menstrual flow. A decrease in menstrual flow may be caused by a physical illness, and a sudden decrease in menstrual flow is also closely related to emotions. Depression or anger can easily lead to a decrease in menstrual flow. While taking medication, certain drugs may stimulate the body and can also easily lead to this situation.

Why does my period suddenly become less?

If the patient's menstrual flow suddenly becomes less under normal circumstances, it is first necessary to understand the patient's medical history in detail to determine whether the patient has had heavy bleeding, miscarriage, curettage or other intrauterine surgery. If cervical freezing or electrocoagulation has been performed, sex hormone levels and thyroid function need to be checked. In addition, some patients may have come into contact with tuberculosis patients, or have tuberculosis themselves, and it is necessary to consider whether the sudden decrease in menstrual volume is caused by endometrial tuberculosis, endometritis, or uterine intrauterine adhesions in the genitals. In addition, this phenomenon can also be caused when it is difficult to discharge blood stasis in the uterine cavity, and treatment to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis is needed.

What's wrong with low menstrual flow?

1. Drug-induced

Certain medications may cause women to have light menstrual flow, such as birth control pills, anti-cancer drugs, and some other psychiatric drugs. After taking the drugs, they may affect women's endocrine system, which may cause women to have less menstrual flow. Therefore, when using these drugs, you must follow the doctor's instructions and cannot add or subtract drugs at will. If there are menstrual abnormalities, you need to communicate with your doctor in time to adjust your medication.

2. Anovulation causes

This situation is also called anovulatory menstruation, which means that some women will have menstruation without ovulating. In fact, this kind of menstruation is a little different from normal menstruation. Anovulatory menstruation is one of the symptoms of functional uterine bleeding. The main feature of this kind of menstruation is that the amount of bleeding will be very small, and the time is very irregular, unlike normal menstruation which usually has a cycle.

3. Endocrine disorders

Since endometrial hyperplasia is closely related to the body's endocrine levels, when a woman's endocrine system becomes abnormal, the endometrium will also change, and the actual degree will gradually decrease, which will lead to a gradual decrease in the amount of shedding, causing women to have less menstrual flow. There are many reasons that affect women's endocrine disorders, such as excessive weight loss, dieting, staying up late to work overtime, excessive mental stress, etc., all of which will affect women's endocrine system.

4. Pituitary gland function affected

The decline in pituitary function will affect the secretion of ovarian estrogen, which will lead to a decline in endometrial hyperplasia function, which will lead to the occurrence of some uterine diseases, thus causing women to experience a decrease in menstrual volume.

What to do if menstrual flow is small?

1. Seek medical attention promptly.

Some women experience an inexplicable decrease in menstrual volume. Such people should take this matter seriously. It is best to go to the hospital to check the cause in time, determine the cause, and then treat it symptomatically based on the cause. This way, menstruation can return to normal as soon as possible.

2. Adjust your mindset.

A good mentality is closely related to a good spirit. If a woman is often in a bad mood and under too much pressure, it is easy to cause endocrine disorders in women, which will lead to irregular menstruation. Therefore, it is particularly important to adjust your mentality and relax yourself appropriately in life to keep a woman's endocrine system in a normal state.
