Patient's question:
Before, my health wasn't good, and I took some medication. In the past two months, my menstrual flow has been very little, with severe menstrual cramps. On the first day, it wasn't much, and by the third day, it basically felt like nothing was coming. What kind of help I'm looking for: I expect some home remedies, like Fu Ling Black Chicken Soup, or soaking feet in hot water, things like that. Some practical ones would be great, preferably something someone has tried, and I don't want to take medication.Doctor's answer:
The amount of menstrual blood is reduced due to low estrogen levels. Estrogen can stimulate the fibrosis and thickening of the endometrium, preparing it for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the fibrotic endometrium peels off and breaks, forming menstruation. Low estrogen levels in the body prevent the endometrium from thickening sufficiently, resulting in less peeling during menstruation. It is recommended that you undergo a thorough endocrine examination to check how the hormone levels in your body are normal. The recurrence of gynecological diseases severely threatens women's health. Patients need to pay attention to follow-up examinations after menstruation in daily life, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. We hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
