What are the effects of low menstrual flow?

Many female friends have mixed feelings about menstruation. They don't want it to come, but they are also afraid that it will not come. They are also afraid that it will come too often, but they are also afraid that it will come too little. Low menstrual flow is one of the top ten menstrual symptoms. What is light menstrual flow? The so-called light menstrual flow refers to the fact that the menstrual cycle is basically normal, but the menstrual flow is significantly reduced, or even just a little bit, or the menstrual period is less than two days and the menstrual flow is also light.

Under normal circumstances, the menstrual cycle length is generally 28 to 30 days, the duration is generally 3 to 7 days, and the total blood volume is generally 30Ml to 50Ml. It is generally believed that menstrual flow less than 30ml is considered to be light menstruation. As one of the top ten menstrual diseases, what are the harms of scanty menstrual flow?

1. Small menstrual flow causes a lot of harm to women's health, mainly including uterine wall movement, cervicitis, menstrual arthritis, menstrual rash, menstrual toothache, menstrual asthma, etc.

2. Small menstrual flow can also cause acne in women, affecting the beauty of their faces. Moreover, this kind of pigmentation cannot be treated simply with skin care products. If not treated as soon as possible, it will not only affect beauty and skin care, but also physical and mental health.

3. Small menstrual flow can cause headaches for women, and in severe cases it can lead to female infertility. Therefore, female friends must pay great attention to it and not neglect it.

4. If the scanty menstrual flow is caused by gynecological diseases, it will continue to affect women’s reproductive function.

The following are the common reasons for less menstrual flow:

1. Excessive dieting to lose weight. For various reasons, many women have strict requirements on their body shape. Women's menstruation is closely related to weight and body fat rate. In particular, women who have menstrual problems should stop losing weight, improve nutrition, and recover as soon as possible.

2. Excessive work and rest schedule leads to endocrine imbalance. Fast-paced life, high-intensity work, and those uncomfortable days every month are probably harmful to many women. If they do not pay attention to maintaining a stable work and rest schedule and relieve stress at this time, it is likely to lead to oligomenorrhea.

3. Often angry and depressed. Female friends should never hold back when they feel depressed. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, depression can easily lead to liver qi stagnation, which can lead to less menstrual flow. In addition, excessive mental stimulation, anxiety and psychological trauma can also lead to oligomenorrhea.

4. Abortion surgery. After an abortion, the uterus and ovaries can generally resume ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation will occur around January. However, a very small number of women experience prolonged menstruation, irregular cycle duration, and amenorrhea after abortion, which usually recover after 2-3 months.

5. Ovarian decline. The function of the ovaries directly affects women's menstrual period. In the late period, the menstrual flow is small. Most modern scientists believe that it is related to poor uterine development or anovulation. Therefore, promoting ovulation and strengthening the ovaries are the key steps in treating oligomenorrhea.

6. Chest diseases. Many women experience premenstrual breast pain but little menstrual flow. This should never be ignored. Symptoms such as breast pain may be caused by liver qi stagnation, and require soothing the liver and regulating qi, connecting the blood vessels, and thus achieving the overall effect of regulating menstruation.
