Patient's question:
In the past few months, my menstrual flow has been relatively light, with dark red color, and accompanied by menstrual cramps. I have tried adjusting my schedule, but the amount is still very little. Some people think it's beneficial to eat more red dates and goji berries after menstruation, but I'm not sure. What should I eat to supplement when the menstrual flow is low?Doctor's answer:
The menstrual flow is relatively light, and it is also accompanied by symptoms of dysmenorrhea, which may be related to gynecological inflammation, uterine cold, qi and blood deficiency, etc. You can eat many jujubes and goji berries, which can help replenish qi and blood and have a certain relieving effect on light menstrual flow. You can also drink brown sugar water during your period, which can promote the discharge of menstrual blood and help increase the amount of menstrual flow. It is best to have an ultrasound examination to check the thickness of the endometrium to ensure it is normal.
