What should I do if my menstrual flow is too light or black?

Patient's question:

This month, my menstrual flow is less and dark. What should I do? How can I adjust it? Are there any good methods you can recommend?

Doctor's answer:

If there is sexual activity, you first need to use a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. If it's not pregnancy, it may be related to conditions such as cold uterus, endocrine disorders, or irregular menstruation. You can try drinking brown sugar ginger water and applying cold compresses, and avoid getting cold. If it's not stable, you can go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound to check the thickness of the endometrium. On the third day of your period, have an empty stomach to test for six hormones and thyroid function to identify the cause before treatment. Generally, it is not recommended to use medication blindly first. If it's caused by a cold uterus, you can use warm uterus pills.
