What is the reason for the menstrual blood being dark and scant?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
Recently, during the last two menstrual periods, my period flow has been less than usual, and the blood has been dark in color. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, such symptoms are primarily manifested as cold in the palace and blood stasis. In terms of diet, it is recommended to consume more foods that boost qi and warm the body. During the menstrual period, it is essential to avoid cold foods. You may consider taking Xiaoyao Pills and Tiao Jing Bu Qi Pills to regulate and nourish the body. For gynecological patients, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Lastly, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations.
