Menstruation is a normal physiological reaction in women, and low menstrual flow can lead to irregular menstruation, especially when it affects pregnancy.
Is there a relationship between difficult pregnancy and low menstrual flow?
Menstruation is a physiological response to periodic uterine bleeding, typically with a menstrual flow of 50-80 milliliters per session. Calculated based on the amount of sanitary napkins used, approximately 10-20 pieces per session. Please refer to the usage amount of sanitary napkins.
When it comes to low menstrual flow, there are many reasons. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, women aged 14-28 are at their most vigorous stage of growth and development. Especially at the age of 21-28, it is most suitable for childbirth. After the age of 35, the body begins to decline, and there is a possibility of amenorrhea around the age of 49. Not paying attention to health care, staying up late, and frequently eating dry and hot stimulating foods can lead to yin deficiency, reduced menstrual flow, reduced overeating, physical weakness, blood deficiency, reduced menstrual flow, frequent consumption of cold food, condensation of blood stasis, and reduced menstruation. In addition, uterine adhesions, endometrial tuberculosis, decreased ovarian reserve function, hyperprolactinemia, and endometrial damage caused by uterine surgery can also lead to reduced menstrual flow.
Regarding the endometrium, its normal development plays an important role in the good acceptance of embryos and the coordination between embryos for successful pregnancy. Generally speaking, estrogen can stimulate the hyperplasia and thickening of the endometrium, while Progestogen can change the secretory phase of the thickened endometrium to prepare for pregnancy. If not pregnant, as hormone levels decrease, the endometrium will shed and bleed to form menstruation.
The resistance of the lower spiral Arteriole of the endometrium is too high, the blood supply of the endometrium is insufficient, the endometrial capacity is poor, and the amount of menstruation is small or it is difficult to conceive. Therefore, for women of childbearing age with low menstrual flow, especially those who want to have children and find it difficult to conceive, it is necessary to seek medical attention and conduct investigation and treatment as soon as possible.
The Relationship between Low Menstrual Volume and Pregnancy
1. Low menstrual flow, but normal ovarian function, does not affect pregnancy. Women have a large menstrual flow, with a normal range of about 80-100 milliliters. Some women have less menstruation, which falls within the normal range. However, the ovulation function and female hormone secretion function of their ovaries are within the normal range. Therefore, these women still have Fertility.
2. The low menstrual flow caused by non reproductive system and endocrine factors has a certain probability of fertility. Low menstrual flow in women is caused by systemic wasting diseases such as tuberculosis, malnutrition, and anemia. Mental factors include fatigue such as tension, depression, fear, and environmental changes. Low menstrual flow also affects a certain proportion of women who can have children.
