Patient's question:
The menstrual cycle is normal, but the flow is quite light, and there is no dysmenorrhea. I don't usually consume cold drinks or ice creams, but each time the flow is really very light, sometimes only a panty liner is needed. I want to ask everyone, is my situation considered a normal menstrual cycle? Do I have uterine cold?Doctor's answer:
If your menstrual cycle was previously normal, and you have recently experienced reduced menstrual flow accompanied by dark menstrual color and dysmenorrhea, it may indicate the possibility of uterine cold. It is recommended to take Shaofu Zhuyu Granules or Motherwort for regulation. If you have a history of induced abortion, and your menstrual flow has decreased after the surgery, it may be due to abnormal fibrosis of the endometrium after damage. It is advisable to have a hospital examination with color Doppler ultrasound to check the thickness of the endometrium and address the issue accordingly.
