As women, we should all know that menstruation is an important barometer for observing the health of the reproductive system. If a woman experiences abnormal menstruation, she should take it seriously, undergo a check-up as soon as possible, and cooperate with a doctor for treatment. Otherwise, it may affect fertility. Some women have asked, can pregnancy occur with very little menstrual flow?
In general, the normal range of menstrual flow for women should be between 5 and 80 milliliters. If menstrual flow does not result in a minimum of 5 milliliters, then even if menstrual flow is low, whether it will affect pregnancy depends on the cause of the low menstrual flow. Therefore, monthly menstrual flow does not necessarily affect pregnancy, but long-term low menstrual flow can have an impact on women's health. It is recommended to go to the hospital for detailed examination to receive targeted treatment.
The basis of menstruation mainly depends on the thickness and function of the endometrium. Under the combined action of ovarian hormones, the endometrium can thicken, which leads to menstruation. Therefore, when there is a lack of estrogen and progesterone, the endometrium will not have nutritional support, resulting in a decrease in menstrual flow. In this case, progesterone supplementation is needed to promote ovarian secretion of estrogen and progesterone, so that menstrual flow can return to normal without affecting pregnancy.
In addition, low menstrual flow may be caused by systemic wasting diseases such as anemia, malnutrition, tuberculosis, or psychological factors such as tension, fear, depression, or sudden environmental changes, overwork, etc. However, as long as these are relieved, it will not affect fertility. For diseases such as abnormal uterine development that cause low menstrual flow, it will definitely affect pregnancy.
