Patient's question:
I had an abortion last month, and this month my menstrual flow is very light. What medicine should I take for reduced menstrual flow after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, this situation should be caused by physical weakness and insufficient qi and blood after an induced abortion. After an induced abortion, the "sea of blood" becomes empty, leaving no blood to discharge. You can consult a local traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner for syndrome differentiation and treatment to regulate your body with Chinese herbal medicine. Chinese herbal medicine has the functions of tonifying qi, nourishing blood, and regulating menstruation. You can take Ren Shen Gui Pi Wan orally. During the menstrual period, avoid spicy, cold, and other stimulating foods, and maintain a light diet. Wish you good health. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
