Patient's question:
I always have blood clots in my menstrual period, and the color is darker. I would like to ask, what is the reason for this? Is it difficult to treat? If it can be treated, what Chinese medicine would be good to take? Is it a problem of cold body? I always have cold hands and feet.Doctor's answer:
The dark color of menstruation is due to qi stagnation and blood stasis, where the menstrual blood accumulates in the uterus for a prolonged period, which is related to dysmenorrhea. This falls under menstrual irregularities, and it can be regulated by traditional Chinese medicine.During menstruation, if there are blood clots, it may indicate blood stasis. Generally, blood stasis can be treated as follows:
(1) Compound Motherwort Green: Take 10-15 ml each time, twice a day, dissolved in warm water and taken orally.
(2) Motherwort Paste (extract, effervescent, oral liquid):
- Extract: Take 10 g each time, once or twice a day.
- Effervescent: Take 5-10 ml each time, 15-30 ml per day.
- Oral liquid: Take 20 ml each time, three times a day.
(3) Shaofu Zhuyu Pills: Take 1 pill each time, 2-3 times a day, with warm yellow wine or warm water.
