Patient's question:
I am 44 years old, and my menstrual flow has been very light recently. Hello, how should I deal with a light menstrual flow at 44 years old?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, this condition is characterized by hypomenorrhea. Hypomenorrhea generally refers to a shorter menstrual period, lasting less than two days, or a significantly increased menstrual flow volume, typically less than 20 milliliters. This is most often caused by factors such as kidney deficiency, blood deficiency, blood stasis, or phlegm-dampness. You can consult a local traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for a syndrome differentiation and treatment using Chinese herbal medicine to regulate your condition. You should avoid spicy and irritating foods and maintain a light diet. During your menstrual period, pay attention to preventing cold exposure, always keep a calm mood, and restrain from sexual activity. Wishing you good health.
