What should I eat to regulate a light menstrual flow?

Patient's question:

I have had very little menstrual flow for these two months, and it almost stopped by the third day. Hello, what should I eat to nourish my body when my menstrual flow is low?

Doctor's answer:

A normal menstrual period lasts 3 to 7 days, with a flow volume of 30 to 80 ml. If the menstrual flow is very light, it is often associated with conditions such as uterine adhesions or endometrial polyps, and further careful examination with ultrasound is needed for diagnosis. In addition to being related to endocrine disorders or gynecological inflammation, checking routine vaginal discharge tests and sex hormone six tests can provide a clearer diagnosis. In traditional Chinese medicine, common causes include qi deficiency, blood stasis, and kidney deficiency, which can be diagnosed through the four diagnostic methods (inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation) and treated with herbal medicine regulation.
