Patient's question:
Now that my period has arrived, what should I do if it's irregular with a lot of blood clots? My previous periods were quite normal, bright red in color. This time, I don't know why there are so many blood clots, and the cramps during my period were so severe that they almost killed me. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it may be due to uterine cold causing irregular menstruation, menstrual cramps, blood clots, and excessive menstrual flow. Pay close attention to abdominal warmth before and during menstruation, and avoid extremely cold foods. You can eat more qi-boosting foods, such as red dates, goji berries, longans, and eel glue, which can enhance the discharge of menstrual blood. Drinking a lot of brown sugar water can also relieve menstrual cramps.
