Patient's question:
I had a medication abortion in September of this year. After that, I bled for about twenty days, with a small amount of flow. In the following months, I took emergency contraception, which reduced my flow even more. In November of last year, I gave birth to a child. Previously, my menstrual flow was also very light, lasting only two days. Will my period stop like this? I am 24 years old this year.Doctor's answer:
The causes of reduced menstrual flow include kidney deficiency, blood deficiency, blood stasis, phlegm dampness, etc. The treatment focuses on nourishing blood, promoting blood circulation, and regulating the menstrual cycle. For deficiency conditions, it is recommended to tonify the kidneys and nourish blood, while for excess conditions, it is advisable to activate blood circulation, resolve stagnation, and unblock meridians. It is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine expert for personalized treatment with herbal medicine based on specific symptoms. Drinking brown sugar water and consuming more eel glue can also be beneficial. It is advised to pay attention to rest, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and maintain a positive attitude towards life.
