Patient's question:
Since last month, my menstrual period suddenly showed symptoms of dark blood flow, reduced volume, and extended duration. I hope the experts can provide an explanation! Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, a small amount of menstrual flow with dark color is caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, usually related to liver qi stagnation. In the early stages, the menstrual period may be delayed and unsatisfactory, gradually leading to a decrease in flow volume and a dark, clotted appearance. If not properly regulated in time, it may later result in amenorrhea. When menstrual blood cannot be expelled promptly, the accumulation of toxins and waste in the body can more easily cause issues such as dull skin, dark spots, and acne.Recommended treatment approach: Soothe the liver, regulate qi, activate blood circulation, and unblock qi and blood. You may consider taking Guoyao Qixuehe capsules for treatment.
Precautions: Patients with menstrual irregularities should pay attention to rest, avoid staying up late, eat less spicy and cold foods, and maintain a positive and cheerful mood. In terms of diet, consuming foods that replenish qi and blood, such as red dates and goji berries, in combination with Qixuehe capsules, can enhance the effectiveness.
