Patient's question:
Previously, my menstrual flow was very normal. My period usually came around the 20th of each month, and my cycle was very regular. However, this month, after my period started, I noticed that the amount of blood was significantly less, and it stopped within two or three days. This has never happened before. What could be causing the reduced menstrual flow?Doctor's answer:
If the menstrual flow is normal, then there is no need to worry at the moment. If menstrual flow suddenly decreases again with regular cycle timing, it may be considered that the endometrium is too thin or the endometrium is not shedding completely. During the menstrual period, you can choose to use blood-activating herbs, such as ginger, brown sugar, and red dates tea, or choose from two types: motherwort and Guizhi Fuling pills.
