The amount of menstruation to some extent reflects a woman's physical condition. Some women find that their menstrual flow is particularly low and worry about their health problems, so they want to go to the hospital for examination. Menstruation only lasts for about seven days per month, and some women believe that examinations must be done during menstruation. So is it actually necessary to have a check during menstruation when the menstrual flow is low?
It is best to go to the hospital for a detailed examination when menstrual flow is low, but it is best not to do the examination during menstruation, otherwise it will affect the results of the examination. Generally, doctors would recommend that women undergo six tests for sex hormones to check their endocrine status if their menstrual cycle is abnormal. Some may suggest that women undergo abdominal ultrasound examination, mainly to check the condition of the endometrium, clarify the cause of low menstrual flow, and then receive targeted treatment. Women with low menstrual flow must take it seriously, go to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner.
There are many precautions to be taken during the six tests for sex hormones. Firstly, special attention should be paid to the timing, and the best time for examination is usually within 3 to 5 days after menstruation. Because this period is the early stage of follicles, it can effectively reflect the ovarian function status of women. Secondly, it is important to pay attention to blood tests taken on an empty stomach, as the results obtained during this time are most accurate. Therefore, it is best for women to go around 9am in the morning to avoid feeling hungry if they wait too long.
