Patient's question:
I have had irregular menstruation since I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend last year. Sometimes it comes earlier, and sometimes it's delayed. The amount of blood flow is also inconsistent—sometimes heavy, sometimes light. The color is bright red, but there are also dark red blood clots. Can Chinese medicine help regulate this condition?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the presence of blood clots during the menstrual period may indicate the shedding of the endometrium, which could also be due to blood stagnation or the effects of uterine coldness. It is advisable to pay attention to daily care, such as preventing abdominal coldness and drinking some brown sugar water to alleviate the condition. Additionally, maintaining good lifestyle habits, avoiding overtime work, and preventing exposure to cold can also help regulate the menstrual cycle. The above information can serve as a reference.
