Many women, even after becoming mothers, know very little about their own bodies and women’s unique knowledge. Among them, the most common question is about normal menstruation.
Today, let’s take a look at how we can deal with it if menstruation becomes less.
Medical regulation per cycle menstruation amount 5 ~ 80 mL is normal. How much is that 5 mL? It is almost the amount of water that the bottle cap of a 500 ml bottle of mineral water is turned over and filled with water.
Although it is difficult to accurately measure the amount of menstrual bleeding in reality, we can judge whether the amount of menstrual bleeding becomes less according to the comparison before and after.
If menstruation could only be clean in five or six days, it is almost the same in one or two days now. Originally, I had a lot of sanitary napkins, but now I have too many one every day. Menstruation is getting less, don’t panic first, and determine the reason according to the following brief procedures ~
Step 1: Test an early pregnancy test paper to see if you are pregnant.
Up to 50-year-old aunts and down to girls after menarche, as long as they can still menstruate, there is the possibility of pregnancy.
Menstruation becomes less, but the blood flow is probably not menstrual, but bleeding caused by threatened abortion or ectopic pregnancy.
So, go and buy an early pregnancy test paper. It’s very simple, pharmacy or supermarket, spend about ten dollars. If you are lazy again, you can try the App to deliver medicine to your door… … …
If there are two bars, go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. Do you want to say otherwise that ectopic pregnancy must be ruled out?
If there is a bar, but there is no stomachache, and the bleeding stops within a week, it may really be less menstruation. Just one time your menstruation is less, you can ignore it, and it may be normal next month. If this is the case for several months, it is recommended to go to the hospital.
However, if you have a small stomachache or have not been clean for more than ten days, even if there is only one bar, you should go to the hospital early and draw blood to check HCG if necessary.
Step 2: Think about whether you have done these four things
1. Taking short-acting contraceptives orally
Commonly used are Marvelon, Daying 35, Yousiming, Yousiyue, etc. Some people will have less menstrual volume after taking medicine, which may be related to inhibiting ovulation and intimal hyperplasia. Generally, they will recover after stopping taking medicine. Don’t worry.
2. Manyuele Ring was used.
Menstruation becomes less, and even a small number of people do not menstruate at all. This is caused by the slow release of progesterone from the uterine cavity by Manyuele Ring to inhibit intimal hyperplasia. It does not affect ovarian function and can be recovered after the ring is removed.
3. Have had abortion
Many female friends suffer from less menstruation after abortion, especially multiple abortions and curettage.
Because the endometrium can’t stand the scrape again and again, finally the endometrium is scraped thin, will appear uterine cavity adhesion, make menstruation become less, just start menstruation may also come on time. But more serious uterine cavity adhesion is irreversible, even can lead to menstruation does not come, also can’t be pregnant, even test tube also can’t do.
The best redemption measure is to use scientific contraception in advance to avoid unnecessary abortion.
Of course, if you have completed your family planning or have no plans to give birth again, uterine cavity adhesion will adhere, ovarian function will not be affected anyway, and sanitary napkins will be saved.
4. Ovarian cyst surgery
Because of this reason, patients with premature ovarian failure come to see a doctor. Especially bilateral ovarian endometriosis cyst (commonly known as: chocolate cyst), cyst itself will destroy a little ovarian function, surgery to remove cyst will also go along with some normal ovarian tissue. The key is easy to relapse, reoperation risk is higher.
This destruction of ovarian function is devastating and irreversible. In addition to not menstruating, it will also bring real low estrogen-related symptoms, similar to perimenopausal syndrome.
Step 3: Consider endocrine diseases
When the above problems do not exist, but menstruation is still less, especially the menstrual cycle also has obvious changes, such as once in 28 days before, now more than 40 days to come once, or less than 20 days to come. We must consider whether there is endocrine disease, must go to the hospital.
Common problems include polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, early onset ovarian insufficiency, perimenopause, etc.
Most of these endocrine diseases are accompanied by other discomfort at the same time. They need to be evaluated by a doctor. Usually, they also need to check six sex hormones, thyroid function, anti-Mullerian hormone, etc. Find out the cause of the disease and then carry out targeted treatment. This does not need you to redeem yourself. Listen to the doctor.
