Patient's question:
The menstrual period only lasts for one day each month and is dark in color. A year ago, after I had an abortion, some spots appeared on my face. After taking Bān Qīng Jiāonáng, my menstrual period became less frequent.Previous Treatment and Effects:
I have undergone various examinations, frequently taken traditional Chinese medicine, but the spots still haven’t disappeared.
Desired Help:
How can the menstrual period be regulated to last for about 5 days each month?
Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, the amount of menstrual bleeding is approximately 60 milliliters, with bleeding less than 30 milliliters being considered too little and more than 80 milliliters being excessive. Generally, low menstrual blood volume is due to low estrogen levels or uterine developmental issues. Estrogen stimulates the fibrosis and thickening of the endometrium to prepare for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the fibrotic endometrium sheds and peels off, forming the menstrual flow. Low estrogen levels in the body can lead to insufficient endometrial thickening, resulting in less peeling during menstruation. This condition may affect fertility in the future. It is recommended that you identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment!
