Patient's question:
I have always had regular periods, and each time they last only three days. The amount is also very small. Is it normal for a 23-year-old to have a light menstrual flow?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, this condition is abnormal, which is a case of hypomenorrhea. Hypomenorrhea may be caused by endocrine disorders. Sometimes it is related to kidney deficiency, qi and blood deficiency, as well as qi stagnation and blood stasis. You can consult a local traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for syndrome differentiation and treatment using traditional Chinese medicine to regulate your condition. Traditional Chinese medicine has the effects of tonifying qi, nourishing blood, and regulating menstruation. During the menstrual period, you should avoid spicy and irritating foods and maintain a light diet.
