Patient's question:
I have been experiencing a gradual decrease in menstrual flow since last month. Sometimes the abdominal pain is also very severe. Moreover, the menstruation is light red, with clumps that feel like fluffy fibers, accompanied by a sense of fullness. I have taken quite a few medications, which has even caused my stomach to hurt. What Chinese herbal formulas should I take for a decrease in menstrual flow?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your menstrual flow is relatively light. Most likely, it could be due to some deficiency in qi and blood, possibly caused by irregular living habits for a long time or frequent unbalanced diet. It is best to see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. You can also take oral supplements for qi and blood deficiency and regulation of menstruation. Follow the doctor's advice regarding medication. Additionally, you can use mugwort sticks to moxibustion the Sanyinjiao acupoints yourself. Pay attention to a nutritious diet.
