Patient's question:
Doctor, I was born in 1982, and I am 24 years old. I got married on September 9th, and it was my "bloody period" on the wedding night. In the past three months, my menstrual cycle was on August 16th (normally 5 days), September 6th (light bleeding for 5 days), September 23rd (light bleeding for 4 days), October 10th (normally 5 days), and since November 6th, it has only been a drop of blood every day. Last night after having sex with my husband, there was a lot of blood, but during the day it became just a little bit, with a dark red color. Previously, my period was not very regular, but the amount was always very heavy. The most regular period was three consecutive months, but usually, there were 4 to 5 days with light bleeding during that time.Doctor's answer:
1、Sufficient sleep. "Women are fundamentally based on blood and the liver is their innate foundation," nurturing liver blood is crucial for women. Insufficient liver blood can lead to reduced menstrual flow, rough, dull, spotted, or acne-prone skin. Many women wonder what foods are best for nourishing liver blood, but the most effective way is not food but sleep. It is essential to go to bed before 11 PM at the latest to nourish the liver blood.2、Adjust your mindset. Adjust your mindset. Sometimes, psychological stress can cause menstrual irregularities. Negative emotions such as emotional setbacks or high stress can disrupt menstruation, so it is necessary for women to maintain a positive mindset.
3、Eat more iron-rich and nourishing foods. Consume more iron-rich and nourishing foods. Adequate iron intake can prevent iron-deficiency anemia. Nourishing foods include black-bone chicken, lamb, fish eggs, river shrimp, prawns, pig and sheep kidneys, scallops, black beans, sea cucumbers, and walnuts.
4、Don’t overexert yourself. Avoid excessive fatigue during menstruation. Overexertion can impair the function of organs and affect metabolism. Women should maintain a relaxed lifestyle during their period to ease physical and mental strain.
