Patient's question:
This month, my period arrived a week early, and the flow was light, with dark-colored blood. Previously, I always experienced stomach pain on the first day of my period, but this time there was no pain at all—seems like I barely noticed it. Could I have an illness? I don’t know what to do. Why is my period light and dark in color?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation one week early is also a normal manifestation. However, now it is accompanied by reduced menstrual flow, dark color, and the recurrence of dysmenorrhea symptoms, which may be related to poor blood circulation. It could also be a symptom caused by uterine coldness. It is important to pay attention to preventing coldness during the menstrual period. It is recommended that you drink brown sugar water, as it can promote the discharge of menstrual blood. If the discomfort is caused by uterine coldness, warm treatment can be done after the menstrual period.
