Patient's question:
I have a bit of anemia, so I often eat things like longan and Ejiao to replenish qi and blood. Every time I get my period, it's very regular, usually around the 10th of each month, but it usually ends within two or three days. I only need panty liners and don't need to use pads at all. The amount of blood is very light, and it's black. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Your menstrual flow is light and dark in color, which indicates menstrual irregularities. This could be due to luteal phase deficiency. Therefore, you should first undergo a blood test for six hormones to assess your hormone levels. Additionally, a B examination can be performed to rule out any organic inflammation in the uterine appendages. Under the guidance of a local doctor, you can undergo menstrual regulation treatment, which may include traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy or artificial cycle therapy to restore normal menstruation.
