Does a small menstrual flow usually also lead to menstrual irregularities?

Patient's question:

Previously, 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. I would like to ask: Does a low menstrual flow usually also indicate menstrual irregularity?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, to treat menstrual disorders, it is first necessary to conduct a thorough examination of ultrasound and six sex hormones to identify the specific cause. Treat the primary condition accordingly, and then appropriately complement it with many Chinese herbal medicines for regulating menstruation. In daily life, eat more foods that replenish qi or Chinese herbal medicines for regulating menstruation, such as Poria, Astragalus, and Leonurus. Drink plenty of water, eat less spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to a nutritious diet, and stay active. Pay attention to preventing colds during the menstrual period and resting. For gynecological patients, in addition to standard treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care training, such as paying more attention to personal hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, remind female patients to have regular follow-up examinations!
