Patient's question:
Over the past year, every menstrual period has had very dark blood with low flow, and there were small amounts of non-lump-like substances. I have had one painless abortion in the past and took emergency contraception once. Other than that, there are no other symptoms. Does anyone know any medication that can improve the dark color of menstrual blood? Please tell me the name of the medication. Thank you!Note: I only need the names of the medications. Just tell me.

Hello: Based on your condition, there may be a possibility of qi stagnation and blood stasis. You can take some medications such as Qizhi Xiangfu Pills, Cihang Pills, Shaofu Zhuyu Pills, Yueyue Shu Chongji, Shixiao San, Danggui Imqao Tablets, Fuke Desheng Pills, and Tiaojing Huixue Pills for regulation.Precautions:

Some individuals may experience lower abdominal distension, back pain, breast tenderness, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability, or tendency to depression during menstruation, which are all normal and should not cause excessive concern.
2. Pay attention to hygiene to prevent infection. Keep the external genital area clean. Intercourse is absolutely forbidden during menstruation. Maintain warmth and avoid cold exposure. Avoid overexertion. Those with heavy menstrual flow should avoid consuming brown sugar.
3. Underwear should be soft, cotton, and well-ventilated. Wash and change them frequently, and dry the underwear in the sun.
