Patient's question:
I had sex with my boyfriend on July 28th. Normally, I get my period on August 6th, but it was delayed by about a week. On the night of the 12th, it finally arrived, but the amount of blood was much less than usual. What could be the reason? Could I be pregnant? I thought that as long as the period comes, everything is fine?Doctor's answer:
If menstruation occurs, it will not be pregnancy. When women have irregular menstruation with a decreased amount, the symptoms can manifest as early menstruation, delayed menstruation, irregular menstruation, excessive menstruation, decreased menstruation, prolonged menstruation, and other irregular menstruation conditions. There are various methods for regulation. In addition to using the above dietary methods to alleviate irregular menstruation and decreased menstrual flow, relatively speaking, taking the traditional Chinese medicine Ejiao Huangjing Pill for regulation has a longer duration of use but a more stable effect. Therefore, for regulation, it is still better to use traditional Chinese medicine.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that due to long-term fatigue, post-surgery, recovery from serious illness, or malnutrition, women's kidney yin may be damaged. The liver stores blood, while the kidneys store essence. Essence and blood are interconnected, and menstruation is based on essence and blood. When essence and blood are insufficient, the "blood sea" becomes empty, and menstrual blood cannot flow downward. Therefore, when women have deficient kidney yin and insufficient qi and blood, their menstrual flow may be decreased or insufficient. Taking Ejiao Huangjing Pill regularly has achieved good results.
