Dysmenorrhea is a problem that every woman is unwilling to face. Severe dysmenorrhea not only causes abnormal pain to women, but also affects their normal life and work. Some women find themselves experiencing menstrual cramps with very little blood flow, so why is menstrual cramps but very little blood flow?
1. Difficulty in Qi and Blood: Traditional Chinese medicine often says, "If there is no pain, there will be obstruction." Women may experience dysmenorrhea during menstruation due to poor Qi and blood flow in the body, making it difficult to eliminate menstrual blood from the body. If menstrual blood is difficult to eliminate from the body, the menstrual flow will decrease. From this, it can be seen that dysmenorrhea and low blood volume are complementary, and the lower the blood volume, the more severe the dysmenorrhea will be.
2. High levels of prostaglandins: From a Western medical perspective, the human body releases more prostaglandins during menstruation, which can also lead to dysmenorrhea. The decrease in menstrual flow may be caused by endocrine disorders or disease factors, such as low estrogen levels, cervicitis, cervical erosion, etc., all of which can lead to abnormal menstruation.
3. Abnormal hormone secretion: Estrogen can stimulate endometrial hyperplasia in women. If there is abnormal hormone secretion in the body, it can lead to endometrial hyperplasia not reaching the required thickness, resulting in reduced menstrual flow. If women excessively diet, overwork, have a bad mood, and experience excessive stress, it will affect their endocrine environment, leading to abnormal hormone secretion and reduced menstrual flow.
