Patient's question:
Since having her second child, her menstrual cycle has been irregular. Sometimes she has one period, sometimes two, and the amount of blood flow is not significant. Each period lasts for a relatively long time. She also experiences dizziness and headaches, and it seems she might be anemic with low platelet count. Is it normal to have low platelet count and minimal blood flow during menstruation?Doctor's answer:
If there are symptoms of anemia, it is certainly possible to cause menstrual abnormalities. It is necessary to undergo auxiliary examinations such as gynecological ultrasound, blood routine tests, and trace element tests. If it is caused by iron deficiency anemia, you should eat more foods rich in vitamin C, as well as animal livers, and also pay attention to preventing colds. Consuming more soy products, dairy products, lamb, pigeon meat, and other foods can effectively supplement natural estrogen.
