Patient's question:
After giving birth, I found that my menstrual flow was very light, and about one to two weeks before my period, my breasts would hurt badly. Every time I had to use a warm towel to (apply warmth) to relieve much of the pain. My friend advised me to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up, but I kept putting it off and didn't go. I'd like to ask what could be the reason for the light menstrual flow and breast pain?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, it should be a recurrence of endocrine dysfunction. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, it should manifest as qi and blood deficiency, qi stagnation and blood stasis, and may also involve mild breast hyperplasia. Therefore, it is recommended that you visit a hospital for a breast ultrasound and consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for pulse diagnosis. Taking Chinese medicine for a period of time can help regulate your condition. Avoid consuming too much cold, extremely cold, or spicy food in your daily diet. Drink more brown sugar water and eat more jujubes and longans, which are beneficial.
