Patient's question:
The menstrual period ending on the 9th of this month had very little flow, was dark in color, and contained blood clots. There was no abdominal pain. How can I take care of myself when the menstrual flow is light and dark in color?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it seems you have a low menstrual flow, dark-colored blood with clots, and no other discomforting symptoms. This condition may be due to a cold uterus. It is recommended that you pay attention to preventing colds, wear more clothes, especially covering your abdomen, avoid low-rise pants, and do not consume excessively cold foods. Avoid taking cold showers. It is advisable to use uterine warming patches. Additionally, during your menstrual period, drink some brown sugar ginger water, and also consume a cup of brown sugar ginger water daily as a preventive measure.
