Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How should I handle a light menstrual period?Doctor's answer:
Avoid cold and raw foods; prefer warm and hot ones. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that blood flows when warm and stagnates when cold. During the menstrual period, consuming cold foods can hinder digestion and easily damage the body's yang energy, leading to internal cold. Cold tends to congeal and obstruct, causing poor circulation of menstrual blood, resulting in insufficient flow or even menstrual cramps. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects the patient's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is important to drink more water and maintain good personal hygiene.
