Low menstrual flow with dark-colored blood may be caused by decreased ovarian function or premature ovarian failure. It could also result from anovulation, such as in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), where menstrual cycles occur without ovulation. Therefore, women experiencing light menstruation should undergo gynecological evaluation at a hospital, including color Doppler ultrasound and sex hormone testing, to determine the specific cause. Some women may have abnormalities due to partial intrauterine adhesions, which can occur after procedures like induced abortion. Surgical treatment is recommended in such cases.
