Patient's question:
I also used to have irregular periods with heavy bleeding. Since October last year, my menstrual flow has been less, but the cycle is normal, and it always starts earlier each month. In October, it started about ten days earlier with dark blood, but it was very minimal, and then it returned to normal during the regular period, though still not much. This pattern has continued until this month. This month, it also started about ten days earlier with dark blood, which lasted for two days and then stopped. I started taking Yimu Granules, and there was some fresh blood, but it was still very minimal. It has been almost half a month this time, and my menstrual flow is extremely light—only one pad a day doesn’t even get wet. I’m still taking Yimu Granules. How should I treat this? I’ve never been treated for it before. In September last year, I had an ultrasound, and no problems were found. After my period, I experience lower abdominal pain, but it’s bearable.Doctor's answer:
Menstrual volume may be reduced due to low estrogen levels, endocrine disorders, or organic diseases. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a gynecological examination. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects the patient's body but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo routine gynecological examinations at the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
