Patient's question:
I have always had irregular menstruation. Each period lasts for more than 10 days, with heavy flow and sudden onset. I have anemia, feel weak, and have pale complexion. I have been treated before, taking progesterone and Gongxuening, and even seen a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. After stopping the medication, my period became irregular again. Now, each time it lasts for about 10 days. What should I eat when experiencing metrorrhagia and bleeding?Doctor's answer:
Normal menstrual bleeding usually lasts for 3 to 7 days, and if it is less than 10 days, it can be considered as a shortened bleeding time. Excessive menstrual bleeding can be caused by many factors. In daily life, it is important to maintain a regular routine, pay attention to rest, and avoid overexertion, especially during the menstrual period when it is necessary to avoid rain and moisture. Pay attention to your dietary structure, consuming more lean meat, grains, dark green leafy vegetables, and foods rich in calcium. It is necessary to digest proteins, trace elements such as iron, copper, and zinc, as well as vitamins A, B complex, C, and E. It is not advisable to overeat extremely cold foods and should be strengthened through exercise. It is recommended to visit a hospital for relevant examinations.
