Patient's question:
I had my first period for 7 days, and later it was 3-4 days every time. What should I do about the long-term light menstrual flow?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if menstrual flow is light, from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, it is mainly considered due to insufficient qi and blood. From a Western Medicine perspective, it may be attributed to relatively low excretion of sex hormones or some endometrial abnormalities. It is best to undergo relevant medical examinations in the hospital. In terms of treatment, appropriate oral Chinese patent medicines that replenish qi and blood and regulate menstruation can be taken. Specific medication should be followed according to the doctor's advice. Additionally, moxibustion therapy can be performed in the hospital. It is crucial to maintain a regular lifestyle and diet for proper nutrition.
