Patient's question:
I started having very little menstrual flow since puberty. While others usually need to change their sanitary pads several times a day, one pad is enough for me. Later, I heard that having a low menstrual flow can affect future fertility. So, I want to consult quickly about what to eat to improve my menstrual flow.Doctor's answer:
For cases of low menstrual flow, it is still important to pay attention to menstrual hygiene. Avoid contact with cold water during menstruation to prevent catching a cold. Consume more foods that replenish qi and blood, such as lean meat, animal liver, fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy products, soy products, longans, and jujubes. You can also undergo further gynecological ultrasound and hormone testing (6 items) to provide symptomatic treatment based on the specific examination results. The recurrence of gynecological diseases severely harms women's health. Patients should pay attention to follow-up examinations after menstruation, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. We hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
