Patient's question:
I have a light menstrual flow. I saw that the product "Qi Huang Pei Yuan" claims that its ingredients are collagen, goji berries, mulberry, poria, polygonatum, walnut kernels, peach kernels, and honey. Why is it described as a convenient food rather than a medicine? Can I take this to regulate my light menstrual flow?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many reasons that can cause a decrease in menstrual flow, such as endocrine disorders, gynecological inflammation, changes in the mental environment, exposure to cold, anemia, etc. You can visit a hospital for examination and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine can prescribe blood-activating and blood-stimulating herbs to regulate your condition. During your period, drink some brown sugar water, pay attention to keeping warm, and avoid eating cold and irritating foods.The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for a vaginal examination to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area in your daily life.
