How to increase menstrual flow

For some women, the amount of menstrual flow is relatively small during the menstrual period, which is painful. There are many reasons for the small amount of menstrual flow, such as gynecological problems, excessive psychological tension, or catching a cold during the menstrual period, etc., which may cause a decrease in menstrual flow. At this time, you must strengthen your diet and eat more warm and nourishing foods, which will help gradually improve menstruation.

What are some ways to increase menstrual flow?

Before treating scanty menstruation, a blood test will be performed first. It mainly checks follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estrogen, prolactin, and progesterone to determine whether the problem is with the ovarian or pituitary hormones. Secondly, measure the basal body temperature and make a chart to observe whether ovulation has occurred or whether progesterone deficiency occurs. Ultrasound examination can also be performed to detect the thickness of the endometrium and whether ovulation has occurred. Once uterine adhesion occurs, it will cause cervical obstruction, so it is necessary to ensure that the body recovers quickly during the cycle.

Of course, in addition to the reduced menstrual volume caused by pathological factors, for female friends who want to have children, if it is progesterone deficiency, they can supplement progesterone, or observe the actual condition of the ovaries, and pay attention to relaxing in life. Reducing stress in life will also help normal menstruation. But no matter what treatment method you choose, you must choose a regular hospital and avoid using medication indiscriminately.

What should you pay attention to during menstruation

Sexual intercourse during menstruation can easily bring bacteria from the vulva and perineum into the vagina, cervix, and even into the uterus, causing endometritis or acute adnexitis (including the fallopian tubes and ovaries) and pelvic peritonitis.

Second, avoid strenuous exercise. It is not absolutely forbidden to exercise during menstruation, but strenuous exercise such as high jumping and running should be avoided as much as possible, otherwise it will aggravate the discomfort during menstruation, such as back pain, and even cause dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorders.

Third, it is not advisable to eat raw, cold or overly salty food. Eating raw or cold food or drinking cold drinks during menstruation will affect the contraction of the uterus, causing poor menstrual blood discharge and leading to problems such as dysmenorrhea. Eating too much salty food will aggravate water and sodium retention, leading to problems such as headaches and edema.
