Scanty and light periods indicate that there could be a problem with the uterus. You see the the lining of the uterus needs to have a nice thickness to it in order for implantation to occur. Otherwise, nothing will latch on. Considering that the uterus is the life line of the fetus, the lining should be thick and full of nutrition. Scanty and light periods could indicate that the uterus lining is not getting as thick as we would like. The main reasons that a woman may experience scanty or light periods are 1) stress and 2) lack of nutrition. There could be other reasons but these are the main two. So we would have to use Acupuncture and Herbs to supplement the body by providing it with more hormones. When the body has a higher level of hormones (esp estrogen), then the uterine lining will automatically become thicker. When the uterine lining is thicker, then more blood will shed during the period. Because stress can diminish hormone output, it is also important to relax the body with this condition as well. Many women will report that their cervical fluid is has become more scanty with age or if they’re on the birth control pill. Again, this is due to a decline of hormone output either due to age or because the hormonal system has been shut down with birth control pills. I have had many patients who after treatment noticed a remarkable difference in their cervical fluid. Cervical fluid needs to be abundant because that is the ideal environment for sperm to swim in to fertilize an egg.
