Why is the menstrual flow small and dark?

Patient's question:

I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect fertility. I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Why is my menstrual flow light and dark?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, dark-colored menstruation usually indicates blood stasis, which is generally caused by cold congealing and qi stagnation leading to poor blood circulation. It is recommended to use Motherwort Paste to promote blood circulation and treat the condition. The diet should be light and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Drink more water. Irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a gynecological ultrasound examination at the hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
