Patient's question:
Before, my menstrual cycle was always very normal, but recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, and my period has been consistently delayed. During my period, the menstrual cramps are severe. Please ask: Is it normal for the menstrual flow to be light and for the period to come earlier frequently?Doctor's answer:
Hello: In Traditional Chinese Medicine, early menstruation is referred to as "Menstruation Coming Too Early." If the menstrual cycle occurs more than seven days earlier, or even every ten days, it is called "Menstruation Coming Too Early," also known as "Menstrual Technology Acceleration," "Menstruation Coming Too Soon," or "Early Menstruation." If it only advances by three to five days and without other obvious symptoms, it falls within the normal range or is considered an occasional "Menstrual Technology Acceleration," and is not classified as a "Menstruation Coming Too Early" condition. Your case should be normal. The normal amount is approximately 60 milliliters each time. This requires us to pay attention to the usage of sanitary pads. Do not exceed two packs per cycle. If you use three packs of sanitary pads and they are still not enough, and each sanitary pad is completely soaked, it indicates excessive menstrual flow.
