Patient's question:
I have had irregular menstruation for three months, with the amount decreasing every month and the color getting darker. I don't know why my period is so light, dark on the first day, and low in volume with dark color on the third day. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Menstrual volume is low, and blood tests for 6 hormones are required on the second day of menstruation to check if there is a recurrence of hormonal imbalance. During menstruation, avoid strenuous exercise, extremely cold, hard, spicy, or irritating foods, and pay attention to abdominal warmth to prevent catching a cold. A cold can worsen symptoms, and if the hormonal imbalance is caused by hormonal excretion disorders, hormone medications may be needed to regulate the menstrual cycle. Recurrent gynecological conditions severely threaten women's health, and patients should maintain external genital hygiene and avoid sexual activity in daily life.
