Patient's question:
On the first day of my period, the flow was light and the color was white, and my stomach was in severe pain. By the third day, there's barely any menstrual blood left. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
During the menstrual period, if there is a recurrence of reduced menstrual flow with a whitish color, this indicates symptoms of qi stagnation, blood stagnation, uterine cold, and body cold. Additionally, it may lead to abdominal pain. Therefore, if you experience such symptoms, the best approach is to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and take herbal medicine for regulation. Herbal medicine can be quite effective in this regard. It is also important to pay attention to preventing cold exposure, avoid getting chilled, and refrain from consuming spicy, stimulating, and raw, cold foods.
