Patient's question:
Doctor, is it normal for my 17-year-old daughter to have a low menstrual flow? She usually has her period for about a week, but the amount is very little each day.Doctor's answer:
Menstrual volume is too little, which is an abnormal phenomenon. It is very likely to be caused by menstrual disorders due to insufficient qi and blood. It is recommended to consume more foods that replenish qi and blood, such as red beans, jujubes, goji berries, and black chicken. During the menstrual period, taking motherwort granules orally or drinking brown sugar water can help promote blood circulation, regulate menstruation, and replenish qi. The diet should avoid spicy, irritating, greasy, and extremely cold foods. Rest and avoid overexertion.
