Premature or delayed menstruation, dark brown color with very little amount - what is the reason?

Patient's question:

Female, 23 years old, previously in good health. The color of her menstruation is dark brown, and the amount is very small. The first two periods arrived about ten days earlier than expected, and this time, her period is delayed by four days. The color is still dark brown, and the amount is also very small.

Doctor's answer:

Menstruation usually occurs earlier in cases of qi deficiency, while delayed menstruation is often associated with cold deficiency. It can be treated with Wenyi Decoction. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a gynecological examination at a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, dietary regulation is important, focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
