Patient's question:
I'm 18,,, my period came a bit late this month because I usually don't keep track of time. I think it was a few days late, and the blood flow was very light, thick, and dark red, like the color of dried blood that had been exposed to air for a long time. When it first started, it was orange-yellow. I've never had this happen before—usually, it's bright red. This month, it came late, and the flow was light, with abnormal color. What's going on?I've been having poor sleep recently, staying up at night and sleeping during the day, but I used to be even worse before. Cases like this are very rare for me!~ How should I treat it?? Do I need to go to the hospital for a check-up??
Doctor's answer:
The cause of the symptoms you mentioned is primarily considered to be due to insufficient qi and blood, which leads to the current condition. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the regulation of low menstrual flow is achieved by harmonizing qi and blood, ensuring smooth circulation, sufficient qi and blood, soothing the liver and regulating qi, promoting blood circulation and resolving stagnation. It is recommended that you take Ding Kun Dan water pills, which can nourish qi and blood and regulate menstruation while relieving depression.Irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
