       Menstruation is female It is a good friend that we cannot live without. If menstruation is not good, we will also be bad. We hope that it will report on time and accurately every month. So what kind of menstruation is normal?

      Menstruation is Uterus The product of metabolism, only monthly menstruation helps the uterus establish a good uterine environment, so that future seeds can get better nutrients and more healthy The earth grows inside, and menstruation must come out smoothly. The amount of menstruation each time is about 30 to 60 ml. It is considered normal. If the amount of menstruation is too much, it is easy to lose too much blood, causing the body's anemia , but less menstrual flow will affect women’s fertility, so we must learn to observe the amount of menstrual flow in order to regulate the body in a more timely manner.

      Many women will wonder why menstrual flow is so light. What causes low menstrual flow? Let’s take stock.

      1. The much less menstrual flow is due to women’s constitution. Some women who are too thin do not have a lot of blood. Of course, the blood allocated to the uterus can only be so much, which will lead to a decrease in menstrual flow each time.

      2. Frequent staying up late, being overtired, and irregular living habits will cause a decrease in menstrual flow. Therefore, women should pay attention to their daily living habits. They should also pay attention to private hygiene, change underwear frequently, and prevent infection.

      3. The flow of menstruation is also closely related to our emotions. If we are often sulky and cannot vent our emotions, it will cause liver qi stagnation, which will reduce our menstrual flow. Therefore, we usually need to adjust our mental state and face everything with a calm mind.

      4. Female endocrine imbalance will change menstrual flow, and our ovarian function also indirectly affects our menstrual flow.

      5. Due to organic damage in the body, if the ovarian function has not been fully recovered after artificial abortion, dilation and curettage, etc., the amount of menstrual flow will decrease.

      The amount of menstrual flow also reflects our health status. When the menstrual flow becomes less, it reminds us to care more about our body and take better care of our uterus. (Special article for 99 Health Network (www.99.com.cn), please indicate the source if you need to reprint. )
