Doctor's answer:
??????Traditional Chinese medicine can regulate the body. Seek a specialized doctor at a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. The main reasons for reduced menstrual volume are as follows: (1) Blood deficiency: Physical blood deficiency or traumatic bleeding, postpartum heavy bleeding, or postoperative bleeding can all lead to insufficient nourishing blood and an empty sea of blood, resulting in reduced menstrual volume. (2) Kidney deficiency: Insufficient congenital kidney Qi and essence, or damage to the kidneys due to excessive sexual activity, multiple childbirths, or induced abortions can lead to insufficient kidney Qi and essence, an empty sea of blood, and reduced menstrual volume. (3) Blood stasis: If a woman experiences cold during her menstrual period, her body is invaded by cold pathogens, causing blood to congeal due to cold. Alternatively, arguments or emotional distress during menstruation can lead to qi stagnation and blood stasis. Traumatic injuries that cause internal blood stasis may also disrupt the smooth flow of menstrual blood, resulting in reduced menstrual volume. (4) Phlegm-dampness: Women with a fatty physique often have a phlegm-dampness constitution. Phlegm-dampness obstructs meridians, impeding the smooth flow of menstrual blood and causing reduced menstrual volume. Some women who take birth control pills for a long time may also experience a gradual decrease in menstrual volume. For young girls during their first menstrual period, low menstrual volume is usually normal, and it is also normal for women in menopause to experience reduced menstrual volume, which does not require treatment. Additionally, if a woman notices a continuous decrease in menstrual volume, she should seek medical attention promptly to prevent menstrual blockage.
