Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that my menstrual flow isn't very heavy, the color is also rather light, and it often gets delayed. Is this a case of irregular menstruation? I would like to ask: What could be the possible issues if the menstrual flow is light?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your menstrual cycle is normal but the amount of flow has increased compared to before, it is often due to insufficient qi and blood or qi stagnation and blood stasis in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis. Herbal medicine can be used for regulation. It is recommended that you visit a formal hospital's TCM gynecology department for a follow-up examination. The doctor will diagnose based on your symptoms, physical signs, tongue coating, and pulse, and then prescribe medication for regulation.In daily life, it is important to maintain a calm mood and maintain a regular lifestyle. Gynecological diseases are prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
