How to deal with low menstrual volume and dark blood?

Patient's question:

In the past year, my periods have been very infrequent, and the blood is black. What should I do about having light periods with dark blood?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, theoretically speaking, if the menstrual flow is light and the color is dark, it indicates an imbalance of qi and blood, a thinning of the endometrial lining, and a high likelihood of miscarriage. Currently, if it recurs, you can try ginger and brown sugar tea or Motherwort granules during your period to see if they stabilize the condition. If the effect is not good, then it is likely that your endometrium is too thin. What can be mutually supportive is estrogen to nourish and encourage it. Wishing you health.
