Patient's question:
I haven't had much menstrual flow this month, and I can feel lower abdominal pain. The color of my period is also dark. I don't know if my body is having problems again. I want to go to the hospital for a check-up, but I haven't rushed off to do so yet. What could be the reason for the reduced menstrual flow and its dark color?Doctor's answer:
Menstrual volume is low and the color is dark, which may be due to blood stasis or cold in the uterus, or insufficient qi and blood. You can take oral qi-tonifying liquid to regulate your condition. It's also important to protect your abdomen from cold, use warm uterine patches for care, drink some brown sugar water, and avoid extremely cold and stimulating foods. Enhancing nutrition and maintaining a positive mood can also help regulate your menstrual cycle. During treatment, avoid sexual activity and pay attention to local hygiene. Change your underwear frequently.
