Menstrual volume is small, dark in color, what should I do?

Patient's question:

I have always had a low menstrual flow, which is dark in color, but thankfully, my cycle is regular, about once every 28 days. However, the amount of blood has always been very little, and each time it is accompanied by menstrual cramps. I would like to ask for advice on what to do for young women with low, dark menstrual flow.

Doctor's answer:

Menstrual volume is low, and the color is black. This is considered to be relatively low in the hormone levels in the body. It may also be related to factors such as uterine coldness and body coldness. It is necessary to consider visiting a hospital for a thorough examination of the six female sex hormone indicators. At the same time, it is recommended to combine Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation and treatment, adopting a combination of Western and Eastern medicine for symptomatic treatment, which is relatively appropriate. It is advisable to avoid extremely cold and spicy, irritating foods in daily life, and to exercise moderately.
