What should I do if my menstrual flow is light and brown?

Patient's question:

In the past half year, my menstrual flow has become less and the color is brown. What should I do? Also, a few days before my period, my abdomen hurts quite a bit, which wasn't the case before. What could be causing this?

Doctor's answer:

Menstrual volume is low, with brown discharge. This is due to endocrine disorders, caused by exposure to cold or insufficient qi and blood. It is related to daily diet, lifestyle, and sleep patterns. During menstruation, avoid cold foods, pay attention to abdominal warmth, maintain a balanced diet, get proper nutrition, engage in appropriate activities, and pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
