Is it necessary to pay attention to anything when menstrual flow is low?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've noticed that my menstrual flow isn't very heavy and the color is also quite light. It often gets delayed. Is this considered menstrual irregularity? Could you please tell me: What should I pay attention to when experiencing light menstrual flow?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, first of all, consider the following factors for low menstrual flow: endocrine issues, ovarian function, gynecological inflammation, deficiency of qi and blood, blood stasis, etc. You should go to the hospital for a routine gynecological examination, ultrasound, and a detailed endocrine check-up. It's better to drink some blood-activating foods, avoid taking medicine, and eat more jujubes, brown sugar water, eggs, black chicken, and daylily, which are foods that replenish qi. Rest well, don't overexert yourself, and pay attention to keeping warm. Gynecological diseases are prone to occur, and during treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. Patients should pay attention to the cleanliness of the private area, with a light diet as the foundation. Finally, I wish female patients a speedy recovery!
