It is normal for menstrual flow to decrease after taking Yaz. This is because Yaz is a combined estrogen-progestin medication with low estrogen content and relatively high progestin content. Its primary effect when taken is to regulate the female menstrual cycle and inhibit endometrial hyperplasia. Clinically, this medication can be used to prevent excessive endometrial proliferation, recurrence of endometrial polyps after surgery, and regulation of women's menstrual cycles.
