Patient's question:
Recently, I took medication to regulate my period and increase blood flow, but it didn't work. My friend told me that eating silkie chicken can help regulate it, so I was quite surprised. I wanted to ask if it's okay to eat silkie chicken when the menstrual flow is low?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the normal menstrual volume is 30-50ml. If the menstrual volume is less than 20ml or the menstrual period is shorter than 2 days, it is considered as hypomenorrhea. Hypomenorrhea or menorrhagia may be caused by hypofunction of the pituitary gland, leading to insufficient secretion of estrogen by the ovaries and inadequate endometrial proliferation. Endometrial dysplasia, endometrial tuberculosis, and endometrial damage from curettage can also cause short menstrual periods and hypomenorrhea. It is also related to factors such as stress, medication, and anemia. You can eat black-bone chicken, which is beneficial for reducing menstrual volume. It is also recommended that you visit the gynecology department of the hospital on the third day of your period to undergo a hormone test to understand your endocrine status. An ultrasound examination should be performed 3-7 days after the menstrual period is clean. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be implemented.
