Patient's question:
I have had very little menstrual flow over the past year, and my cycle is also a bit long. I want to know if having a low menstrual flow and a long cycle is normal?Doctor's answer:
During the menstrual period, try to minimize it. For girls of your age, a longer menstrual period is relatively common, which is often due to menstrual irregularities. Properly nourish your body, and it will be fine. It could also be caused by a thin endometrial wall or malnutrition. It is recommended to start drinking brown sugar water one week before your next menstrual period and consume 5-6 red dates daily to support your period. After three days, when the blood flow increases, stop. Continue this for a period of time, and it should improve.
