Patient's question:
These past few months, my menstrual flow has been consistently light. My period lasts only three or four days. Previously, my flow would soak through an entire pad, but now it only soaks through one-third. The color is bright red, and there are blood clots on the first day of my period. I don't experience menstrual cramps. Should I regulate it? I would like to try traditional Chinese medicine regulation.Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of menstrual disorders. If you experience irregular menstruation, it is important to seek medical examination and treatment at a regular hospital in a timely manner. The clinical manifestations of menstrual disorders are often diverse, some menstrual cycle disorders, irregularity, prolonged bleeding duration, some are reflected in changes in the amount, quality, and color of menstrual blood, and some are manifested as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, and other pathological conditions.Advice: During the menstrual period, it is important to learn to relax both physically and mentally, and regulate your emotions. Prolonged excessive stress can lead to dysfunction of the hypothalamus-pituitary axis and the central nervous system, making it easier to cause menstrual disorders. At the same time, excessive fatigue should be avoided to prevent excessive pelvic congestion, which may lead to increased menstrual flow and prolonged periods.
