Patient's question:
Remember that my menstrual flow used to be quite normal, but as I grew older, I noticed that my flow seemed to be getting less and less. At first, I thought it was just me, but during conversations with friends, I learned that one of my friends was experiencing the same thing. Is this situation normal?During my period, I often pass things that look like blood clots. What is going on with that? Is this also considered normal?
First follow-up question: I'm 22 years old, and I don't have any other discomforts. I've been experiencing lighter periods for about one or two years now. I previously had a history of menstrual irregularities. The appearance of blood clots was something I recently noticed. Before, they did occur, but very rarely.
Doctor's answer:
The cause of the symptoms you mentioned is primarily considered to be due to a deficiency of qi and blood. It is best to take traditional Chinese medicine for regulation, which can address both the root and symptoms. In traditional Chinese medicine, the regulation of low menstrual flow is achieved by harmonizing qi and blood, ensuring smooth flow, sufficient qi and blood, soothing the liver and regulating qi, and promoting blood circulation to eliminate stagnation. It is recommended that you take Ding Kun Dan water pills, which have the functions of nourishing qi and blood, regulating menstruation, and relieving depression. They are effective for menstrual disorders caused by qi and blood deficiency or qi stagnation and blood stasis, as well as for abdominal pain during menstruation. During medication, it is essential to avoid cold, greasy, and irritating foods.
