Patient's question:
This month, my menstrual flow has been very light, 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 to do so yet. What could be causing the light menstrual flow and dark color?Doctor's answer:
Menstrual flow is light and the color is dark, which may be due to blood stasis or cold in the uterus, or insufficient qi and blood. Oral liquid for replenishing qi can be taken to regulate the condition. It is also important to prevent abdominal cold, use warm uterine patches for care, drink brown sugar water, and avoid extremely cold and stimulating foods. Enhancing nutrition and maintaining a good mood can help regulate menstruation. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided, and attention should be paid to local hygiene. Underwear should be changed frequently.
