Infrequent menstrual periods or low menstrual bleeding during the menstrual cycle is called "Hypomenorrhea" in the medical literature. There may be many reasons for low menstrual bleeding. Depending on the advancing age of a woman, the amount of menstrual bleeding may decrease. Using pills such as birth control is another factor that reduces the amount of menstrual bleeding.
Causes of less menstrual bleeding?
The reason for the less amount of menstrual bleeding is usually related to hormones. Depending on hormonal disorders or changing hormones in the female body, there may be a decrease in the amount of menstrual bleeding. Stress, especially due to environmental factors, also affects the amount of menstruation. A woman's reaction to an event (excessive stress, trauma, shock) can affect her hormones. Changing hormones can also cause a decrease in the amount of bleeding in menstrual cycles.
Another reason for less menstrual bleeding is the age group of the woman. Especially women over the age of 40 were at risk of menopause. The estrogen hormone is gradually withdrawn from the woman's body and her fertility decreases. Due to all these factors, that is, the decrease in female hormones, there may be a decrease in the amount of menstrual bleeding.
Infectious adhesions occurring in the uterus may also cause a decrease in bleeding during the menstrual period. Depending on the degree of adhesion, the amount of menstruation will also vary. If the adhesions in the uterus are very advanced, menstrual bleeding may not occur at all.
If menstrual bleeding decreases in women with an active sexual life, the suspicion of pregnancy should definitely come to mind.
After light menstrual bleeding. What should be done?
Especially in women between the ages of 20 and 35, it is necessary to consult a specialist physician in case of menstrual bleeding that occurs in small amounts and lasts less than 2 days. A high rate of low menstrual bleeding is caused by hormonal disorders. However, in order to understand this, it is necessary to check whether the female hormone is secreted sufficiently. A clinical environment is essential for this determination and can only be made under the supervision of a doctor. These are the required tests. The doctor will determine the treatment according to the factor causing the woman's menstrual period to be short.
What should be the amount of a normal menstrual bleeding?
Determining the amount of a normal menstrual bleeding and whether it is normal or not. It is a little difficult to decide. This is related to the fact that each woman's frequency of changing pads is different. However, during menstrual bleeding under normal conditions, it is considered normal for a woman to change pads twice a day. Because some women are extremely sensitive and meticulous, they can change their pads even if they see a slight blood clot. On average, 1 or 2 pad changes per day indicate the normal amount of menstrual bleeding. Another factor to remember is that menstrual bleeding must continue for at least two days.
