Patient's question:
All symptoms: Excessive menstrual flow with blood clots and severe dysmenorrhea. Last month before my period, I massaged acupoints such as Qihai, Xuehai, and Sanyinjiao, which improved the symptoms—reducing the flow, making the blood clots smaller and fewer, and alleviating the pain. After last month's period, I drank tea made with 2 rosebuds, 2 chrysanthemum flowers, and 1 safflower flower every day, and consumed a dietary remedy with black fungus, hawthorn, and brown sugar. I also soaked my feet in mugwort water. This month, during my period, it was delayed by two days, and the flow was significantly increased with small, dark blood clots—similar to the symptoms before last month's improvement. Is this related to the things I've been eating? Is it a good or bad sign? Should I continue eating these things after the period?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it mainly belongs to the symptom of blood stasis. The treatment should focus on promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis to regulate the menstrual cycle. You can take Taohong Siwu Decoction with modifications.The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects women's physical health but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of a hospital for an ultrasound examination to identify the cause and then receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
