Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I have always had quite normal menstruation, but recently my menstrual flow has been less. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to help you. Your recent recurrence of light menstrual flow should first be considered as potentially caused by insufficient qi and blood. Insufficient qi and blood may lead to symptoms such as dizziness and blurred vision. It should also be considered whether it is caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, which may result in breast tenderness and abdominal pain before menstruation. It could also be due to uterine cold, which may cause menstrual cramps and a fear of cold during the period. For a definitive diagnosis, you can consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for a pulse diagnosis. Make sure to rest at regular times and avoid overexertion or getting cold.
