Patient's question:
Description of condition: The first three days of my period are okay, but on the fourth day, I have some pain during the day but almost none at night. From the fifth to the eighth day, the pain is very minimal. My menstrual cycle is quite regular, usually coming two days earlier each time. I have cervical erosion of degree II, and I'm wondering if it's related to this.History of treatment and effectiveness: I have not been treated for irregular menstrual flow.
Help needed: I hope my period becomes regular. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
The motherwort granules have the effect of invigorating blood and resolving stagnation, which has a good therapeutic effect on reduced menstrual flow. This needs to be noted. The cause of reduced menstrual flow should be identified before treatment is administered. There are many reasons for reduced menstrual flow, such as endocrine disorders, gynecological inflammation, changes in the mental environment, anemia, etc. It is recommended to visit a hospital for timely examination, confirm the cause, and actively treat the symptoms to avoid affecting overall health. Find the cause and treat it accordingly.A menstrual flow of 30-50 ml is normal. If the menstrual flow is less than 20 ml or the period lasts less than 2 days, it is considered hypomenorrhea, which is often caused by hypofunction of the pituitary gland, leading to insufficient secretion of estrogen by the ovaries, resulting in inadequate endometrial proliferation. Other causes include uterine lesions, poor endometrial development, as well as factors such as mental tension, medication, and anemia.
Dietary adjustments should also be made. One week before menstruation, it is recommended to eat a light, easily digestible, and nutrient-rich diet. You can consume more high-protein foods like beans and fish, as well as leafy vegetables and fruits. Drinking plenty of water is also beneficial for keeping bowel movements regular and reducing pelvic congestion. During the early stages of menstruation, women often experience lower back pain and a loss of appetite. It is advisable to eat palatable and easily digestible foods, such as dates, noodles, or Job's tears porridge. After visiting a hospital for examination and diagnosis, symptomatic treatment should be administered.
