What should I do if my menstrual flow becomes less and less after I turn 40?

After the age of 40, less and less menstruation may be caused by physiological or pathological factors, such as endocrine disorders, pelvic inflammation, etc., which can be alleviated by eating more soy products, using medications, etc.

1. Physiological factors:

After the age of 40, women may enter menopause. The decline of hormones in the body leads to decreased ovarian function and decreased menstruation. This is a normal phenomenon and generally does not require special treatment. Usually, eating more soy products such as soy milk, tofu, and bean curd can help relieve symptoms.

2. Pathological factors:

1. Endocrine disorders: It may be due to mental stress, staying up late for a long time and other reasons, which will cause excessive or insufficient hormone production in the body, resulting in partial shedding of the endometrium, abnormal menstruation, irritability and other symptoms. You can use progesterone capsules, Heiji Baifeng Pills, Danzhi Xiaoyao Pills and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Pelvic inflammatory disease: Considering the reasons of menstrual life and decreased body immunity, bacteria will spread along the reproductive system, causing congestion and swelling of the pelvis. If not treated in time, symptoms such as reduced menstruation and abdominal pain will appear. It is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and take drugs such as artificial bezoar metronidazole capsules, azithromycin dispersible tablets, and gynecological Qianjin tablets.

In addition to the common causes mentioned above, it may also be caused by uterine adhesions and cervical adhesions. If the patient has other discomfort symptoms, he or she needs to go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the disease.
