Patient's question:
Doctor, my period just started this month, but I noticed that my menstrual flow is particularly light. Basically, it's normal on the first day, but there's very little flow for the following days. I want to take care of it properly. How can I regulate my menstrual flow to increase it?Doctor's answer:
Sudden recurrence of abnormally light menstrual flow should be considered a possible pregnancy if there has been normal sexual activity. It is recommended to use early pregnancy test strips or blood hCG testing for further diagnosis. If there has been no sexual activity or if pregnancy is ruled out after a thorough examination, the reduced menstrual flow is more likely caused by cold exposure or irregular lifestyle. In such cases, taking Yi Mu Cao Granules orally can help regulate the condition. Pay attention to avoiding cold exposure and consuming cold foods; engage in appropriate physical exercise to promote the discharge of blood clots. During treatment, women should pay attention to self-care. It is advised to avoid sexual activity during the treatment period and maintain good hygiene.
