What items should be checked for scanty menstruation

If a woman finds that her menstrual flow is relatively small, she should not take it for granted, but should go to the hospital for a check-up to see what is wrong with her. Only in this way can she recover in time and her health will not be affected. So, what new items need to be checked for scanty menstruation? To understand the relevant issues, let's take a look together.

What new items should be checked for scanty menstruation

1. Six items of sex hormones

The main reason for the small amount of menstrual flow is related to endocrine. Therefore, the doctor will suggest that you take a blood test for six items of sex hormones to find out whether the small amount of menstrual flow is related to endocrine. For friends who want to check six sex hormones, it is recommended to have a blood test on the third day of menstruation, as the test results will be more accurate. If you check your sex hormones at other times, you need to tell your doctor which menstrual cycle you are in so that you can compare the relevant data.

2. B-ultrasound examination

The cause of scanty menstrual flow may also be related to the ovaries. Therefore, doctors will also recommend patients to undergo B-ultrasound to check the ovaries. B-ultrasound examination generally displays data such as ovarian size, egg number, follicle size, uterine size, endometrial thickness, etc., to determine whether the scanty menstrual flow is related to the ovaries.

3. Routine inspection of leucorrhea

In addition to being related to endocrine and ovarian diseases, scanty menstrual flow may also be caused by gynecological inflammation. In this case, a routine leucorrhea examination can be performed on the patient to diagnose whether gynecological inflammation exists. If the scanty menstrual flow is caused by gynecological inflammation, it is necessary to actively treat the underlying disease so that the menstrual period can be restored.

The above introduces three new items that need to be checked for the diagnosis of scanty menstruation, namely six items of sex hormones, B-ultrasound examination and routine leucorrhea examination. Based on these three examination items, the cause of scanty menstrual flow can be basically determined, allowing the doctor to develop a targeted treatment plan to help the patient recover as soon as possible.
