Patient's question:
I am 23 years old this year. In the past few months, my menstruation has been very irregular, especially the amount of blood flow, only for one day, and the color of the menstrual blood is also abnormal, a bit brown. It has been like this for four or five months. How should I deal with the problem of having a small amount of menstruation for only one day?Doctor's answer:
Usually, this situation is caused by several reasons, such as psychological factors, mood, medication effects, dietary habits, environmental influences, gynecological inflammation, endocrine disorders, etc. It is recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination to check the thickness of the endometrium and test for six hormones to see if the values are normal, in order to rule out these organic inflammatory conditions. It is also advised to pay attention to menstrual hygiene, consume less cold and extremely cold foods during menstruation, protect the abdomen from cold, avoid staying up late, and take blood-activating and blood-stagnation-reducing medications two to three days before the menstrual period. After the menstrual period is about to arrive, stop taking the medication.
