Patient's question:
In early August, a few days before the menstrual period arrived, my tongue suddenly felt dry and hot. The coating on my tongue was greasy and yellow, and I felt exhausted and weak. This was followed by irregular menstruation, with dark and scanty flow. Gradually, my tongue swelled and became larger, accompanied by a burning sensation.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are several possible reasons for a light menstrual flow, such as qi and blood deficiency, blood stasis, or abnormal hormone secretion. It generally doesn't affect your health. It is recommended to visit a hospital for an ultrasound to check for any abnormalities in the uterus and adnexa. You can also have a six-panel sex hormone test on the third day of your period to see if your hormone levels are normal. Avoid eating cold foods before and during your period, and pay attention to keeping warm.
