Patient's question:
I have already started my period this year, but it has been irregular. Every month, it's either early or late. I asked a doctor, and they said it's normal if it's no more than two times. So, I didn't pay much attention to it. But in the past two months, the amount has also decreased, and the color is darker. How should I deal with irregular periods with varying amounts?Doctor's answer:
You have irregular menstruation this year, mainly showing changes in the cycle, with early or delayed occurrences, but not exceeding two days, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. In the past two months, your menstrual flow has been light, and the color is darker. From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it should be considered whether the menstrual disorder is caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis. It is recommended to take Chinese herbal medicine that promotes blood circulation and resolves stagnation for regulation. At the same time, it is also important to balance qi and blood, enhance nutrition, avoid overtime work, and maintain a good lifestyle routine, as otherwise, it may interfere with future conception.
