Patient's question:
Experts, good. In these past few months, I don't know what's going on with my menstrual cycle, it's been very long each time, and the amount of blood is very little. I've taken some medication for irregular periods, but it hasn't had much effect. I'd like to ask the experts how to treat a menstrual cycle with little blood and a long duration. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Therefore, the treatment focuses on nourishing the kidneys and enriching the blood, allowing the Ren and Chong meridians to be unobstructed and the blood sea to be full. Even if there is stagnation or phlegm-dampness, it is best to avoid excessive use of aggressive methods to prevent severe damage to qi and blood, making it difficult for the menstrual blood to recover. There are also cases where the source of qi and blood is insufficient or excessive blood loss due to severe illness, leading to emptiness of the blood sea, lack of blood supply, and reduced menstrual flow. In cases of excess, it may be due to blood stagnation or phlegm-dampness obstructing the uterine meridians, causing poor blood circulation and reduced menstrual volume.
