Patient's question:
I used to have very regular periods, but recently, for some reason, they've been getting more and more irregular. There are issues with the timing, flow, and color. Could it be that I'm getting some kind of illness? Please ask: What kind of medicine can I take during a period if my menstrual flow is light?Doctor's answer:
The normal menstrual period for women lasts about 3-7 days, and if the menstrual flow is light, it may indicate menstrual irregularities, which could be related to thin endometrium, endocrine disorders, and gynecological infections. Blood-activating drugs can help replenish qi and blood, but they may not be effective for menstrual irregularities. First, it is recommended to undergo a gynecological examination at a hospital to identify the cause of the irregularity, and then implement a combination of Chinese and Western medicine for regulation.
