Menstruation, as a unique physiological phenomenon in women, can also reveal a woman's physical health status through the menstrual cycle, menstrual flow, and duration of menstruation. For example, some women have less menstrual flow and shorter menstrual periods, which may indicate abnormal conditions. So, what are the reasons for short menstrual periods and low menstrual flow in women?
1. Generally, the menstrual period for women after menstruation is 3-7 days, and the amount of menstrual blood per cycle should be between 30-80 milliliters. If the menstrual period is less than 3 days, it is considered too short, and if the menstrual blood volume is less than 30 milliliters, it is considered insufficient menstrual flow. If the menstrual period exceeds 3 days and the menstrual blood volume is greater than 30 milliliters, even if it is not at a moderate level, it does not belong to insufficient menstrual volume and short menstrual period.
2. Women with short menstrual periods and low menstrual blood flow may be related to congenital uterine dysplasia. For example, women with small uteruses have fewer endometrium due to the smaller size of the uterus, resulting in less menstrual blood formation during each menstrual cycle, leading to shorter menstrual periods and less menstrual blood discharge.
3. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome may also experience infrequent menstruation and even amenorrhea due to menstrual disorders. But this disease is often accompanied by other symptoms, such as obesity, excessive acne, and hirsutism. So women who have these symptoms and have very little menstrual flow and a short menstrual period should consider being related to this disease.
