Patient's question:
Doctor, the amount of my menstrual flow this month is much less compared to before, and the color is a bit dark red. A few days before my period came this month, I ate a grilled sausage. Doctor, what could be the reason for the reduced menstrual flow and darker color? Could it be because of the grilled sausage I ate?Doctor's answer:
From the perspective of less bleeding during the menstrual period, it is more likely that the condition is due to qi and blood deficiency or thin endometrium affecting the menstrual cycle. In these days, it is recommended to enhance nutrition and avoid spicy foods, while also consuming more vegetables and fruits. Additionally, try to avoid stress and take care to prevent cold exposure. The dark color of the blood may also be caused by body coldness, so it is advisable to consume more foods that replenish qi and regulate the menstrual cycle. Pay close attention and observe for a period of time.
