Patient's question:
After giving birth, my menstrual cycle was very irregular. The amount of blood flow was extremely low, and sometimes it would stop completely within a day. This has caused me a lot of mental stress and restlessness. I don't know what is causing this irregularity. Hello, how can I take care of myself when my menstrual flow is very low and stops within a day?Doctor's answer:
If your menstrual cycle is normal, but the period and menstrual flow are light, it may be due to low estrogen levels in your body. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, this could be a manifestation of qi stagnation, blood stasis, and qi and blood deficiency. If you experience abdominal pain during your period, it may also be caused by postpartum gynecological inflammation leading to adhesions of the endometrium or cervix. Therefore, it is recommended that you visit a hospital for a comprehensive and thorough examination to confirm the condition and receive appropriate treatment or dietary adjustments.
