Patient's question:
This past year, my menstrual cycle has come earlier by several days each month, and the amount of blood flow is very light. Every time I have my period, it only lasts for three days. I think my body isn't doing well, but I don't want to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. I'd like to take care of myself at home. With light menstrual flow, what should I eat a few days in advance?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your question. Under normal circumstances, a menstrual cycle should occur every 21 to 35 days, with some fluctuation range. Each period typically lasts for about 3 to 7 days, and a blood flow of around 20 milliliters is considered normal. If the blood flow is particularly low, you might consider taking Wuji Baifeng Pills or Shaofu Zhuyu Granules for regulation. After 2 to 3 months of regulation, if the effect is not satisfactory, you should go to the hospital for a systematic and thorough examination.
