Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle is always irregular, either delayed or early. Sometimes it comes again in just 18 days. The amount of blood flow varies, and the color is very dark. Please ask: If the menstrual flow is light and the color is dark, does it mean menopause is approaching?Doctor's answer:
In your case, from the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is a clear manifestation of uterine cold. Uterine cold is caused by physical weakness, so it is recommended to engage in more activities. In terms of medication, Ai Fu Nu Gong Wan (Aifuzhongguan Wan) is recommended for oral administration. If abdominal pain occurs again while taking the medication, this is normal. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume more foods that boost qi and warm the body, such as walnuts, jujubes, and peanuts. During the period of regulation, the diet should be based on light and simple foods. Gynecological diseases are a condition that is prone to occur. During the medication period, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during the treatment period and pay close attention to cleanliness. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
