Patient's question:
I had always had a regular menstrual cycle before. Six months ago, after drinking ice beer during my period, it became irregular. It came every few months, and when it did, the blood was dark in color and the flow was heavy. The doctor said it was secondary amenorrhea. What medicine should be taken for secondary amenorrhea?Doctor's answer:
Hello! If the menstrual cycle is normal, it indicates good lifestyle habits. If the menstrual flow suddenly becomes dark in color, it may suggest that the blood is not flowing smoothly, and it doesn't necessarily mean secondary amenorrhea. Amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstruation. Therefore, the current description is incorrect. For now, you can undergo a detailed ultrasound examination of the uterine appendages or take blood-activating herbal medicine.
