Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that my menstrual flow isn't very heavy, and the color is lighter than usual. It also often gets delayed. Is this considered menstrual irregularity? I'd like to ask: Does eating grapefruit affect menstrual flow if it's low?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it has little to do with diet. Such cases are usually caused by factors like irregular menstruation or endocrine disorders. It is recommended to undergo a test for the six major sex hormones and an ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis before additional treatment. Avoid taking medication blindly. Relax your mind and get more rest. If the menstrual flow is low, the condition is quite serious, and it is advisable for patients to seek timely symptomatic treatment and follow the doctor's advice. At the same time, pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition. Thank you.
