Patient's question:
I get my period every month, and my complexion looks very pale and yellow. On the second and third days, the flow is quite heavy (it's like a running faucet when I stand up after sitting for a while), but it mostly stops by the fourth day. Could this be caused by blood deficiency? Sometimes, taking Angelica sinensis (Danggui) supplements helps reduce the flow slightly. I've been to the hospital for a check-up, and there's nothing wrong with my uterus. It's been like this since I was young. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The menstrual cycle of a normal woman is 28-30 days, with menstruation occurring once, but it is still considered normal if it is one week early or late. The duration of menstruation is generally 3-7 days. Regarding your situation, from the time frame, it falls within the normal range and does not require regulation.The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
