Patient's question:
I had a very regular menstrual cycle before pregnancy, and the amount of my period was also normal. However, after giving birth to my baby, my period suddenly became lighter every month. Previously, my cycle was about six days, but now it lasts for about three days. So, I would like to ask the doctor what to do about a decreased menstrual flow?Doctor's answer:
Menstrual irregularity is primarily considered to be caused by inadequate postpartum care, leading to some endocrine disorders in the body. It is also possible that the uterine lining is relatively thin. Specific diagnosis requires further examination at the hospital. In the meantime, oral supplements for blood and qi regulation can be taken, but medication should be used strictly according to medical advice. Additionally, dietary nutrition should be well-balanced. Appropriate amounts of jujubes or eel glue can be consumed. Gynecological diseases are prone to recurrence. During medication, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay extra attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet.
