Patient's question:
I always have very little menstruation, and I can't even finish half a pack of sanitary pads. Is this normal? This time it's even less, as if it's about to disappear. I don't know what reasons could lead to this. I got my IUD about two months after giving birth. Is that related? My menstruation has been very little ever since. I also have cervical erosion and have taken medication for it. My endocrine check-up was normal too.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation has many causes, which are typically classified into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as irregular menstruation caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also lead to irregular menstruation.Go to the hospital for a check-up and take medication as prescribed. In the meantime, consume more foods that boost qi and blood, or try traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation, such as angelica sinensis (Danggui), astragalus (Huangqi), and Leonurus japonicus (Yimucao). Drink plenty of water, eat less spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to a balanced diet, and exercise more.
Wishing you good health.
