Patient's question:
Hello, what should I do if my menstrual flow is less and dark coffee-colored recently?Doctor's answer:
If the menstrual flow is less than 20ml, it is considered to be abnormally low. Long-term use of contraceptive medication, uterine adhesions, or abnormal ovarian function may lead to a recurrence of low menstrual flow. This is often accompanied by symptoms such as altered blood color and abdominal pain. It is recommended to undergo MRI and blood tests to identify the underlying cause of the low menstrual flow, and then take blood-activating and period-regulating medications under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, drinking brown sugar water during the menstrual period may help in the discharge of menstrual blood. It is also advisable to avoid long-term use of contraceptive medication.
