Patient's question:
In early July, my aunt didn't leave and went to the water park to play in the water. After coming home, I took anti-inflammatory medicine. My aunt left four days later. I went again for rafting. Every month she comes early, but this month she's delayed. For two days, there was very little black blood, then after a few days, it came back with black blood, but very little, only a little bit would come out when I used the restroom. It was itchy, and the black blood also had some white,-like substance.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 flow. It is recommended to use Motherwort Paste to promote blood circulation and treat the condition. You can also consider moxibustion on acupoints such as Guanyuan (CV4), Sanyinjiao (SP6), and Taichong (LR3). Irregular menstruation not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for a check-up to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, you should drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
