What's the matter with less traffic?

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon that every woman has to experience. When every woman reaches puberty, due to the complete development of the uterus, she will have her first menstruation, which is called menarche. After that, menstruation will come every month or so. However, everyone's body is different, which leads to differences in everyone's menstrual cycle and menstrual volume. But many women have very little menstrual volume. So what is the reason for a small amount of menstrual volume?

Small menstrual volume (oligomenorrhea) is when the menstrual cycle is basically normal, but the menstrual volume is significantly reduced, or even stops with just a few drops; or when the menstrual period is shortened to less than two days and the menstrual volume is also small, it is called "oligomenorrhea". It is a menstrual disease. Oligomenorrhea is often associated with late menstruation and is often accompanied by weight gain. If the disease occurs during adolescence and childbearing age, it may develop into amenorrhea, and if it occurs during menopause, it often leads to menopause. Oligomenorrhea refers to a period with less menstrual volume than normal, which is mostly caused by blood deficiency, qi stagnation, blood stasis, cold stagnation in the blood, phlegm obstruction and other reasons. The causes and pathologies of oligomenorrhea can be both deficiency and excess, and the deficiency ones are mostly due to physical factors.

Common causes:

1. Excessive dieting to lose weight. For various reasons, many women have very high demands on their body shape. Women's menstruation is closely related to their weight and body fat content. In particular, women who have menstrual problems should stop losing weight, strengthen their nutrition, and restore their health.

2. Irregular work and rest schedule leads to endocrine disorders. With a fast-paced life and high-intensity work, many women would probably go crazy if they encounter those uncomfortable days every month. If they do not pay attention to maintaining a good work and rest routine and relaxing at this time, it is likely to cause scanty menstruation.

3. Often sulking and feeling depressed. Female friends should never hold back when they feel wronged. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, holding back can easily cause liver depression and qi stagnation, thereby reducing menstrual flow. In addition, excessive mental stimulation, tension and psychological trauma can also cause oligomenorrhea.

4. Artificial abortion. After an artificial abortion, the ovaries can generally resume ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation will occur in about 1 month. However, a small number of women experience prolonged menstruation, irregular cycles, and amenorrhea after artificial abortion, which usually return to normal after 2-3 months.

5. Ovarian function decline. The function of the ovaries directly affects women's menstruation. In the late menstrual period, the menstrual volume is small. Most modern medicine believes that this is related to poor follicular development or anovulation. Therefore, promoting ovulation and strengthening ovarian function are the main links in treating oligomenorrhea.

After the above introduction, we know the reasons that lead to light menstrual flow. Therefore, when women have their period, they should pay attention to the reasons introduced above and refrain from doing things that endanger their bodies. However, once a woman has a small amount of menstrual flow, she must go to the hospital to see a doctor for examination and treatment in time to avoid causing greater harm.
