What are the reasons for a small amount of dark menstrual blood with clots?

Patient's question:

Menstrual flow is light, the color is a bit dark, with blood clots

Doctor's answer:

According to the symptoms you mentioned, it mainly belongs to the symptom of blood stasis in dysmenorrhea. The treatment should focus on invigorating blood, resolving stasis, and regulating menstruation. You can take Taohong Siwu Decoction (modified) for treatment.
Irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a routine check-up in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
