Patient's question:
My menstrual flow hasn't been as heavy as before, but it often comes with blood clots. The heaviest flow is usually just the first day or two, after which it becomes very light or even stops, lasting for about six days. Is there anything wrong with me? Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
The amount of menstrual flow being too much or too little is closely related to physical health. If the body experiences endocrine issues, it may lead to excessive or insufficient menstrual flow. If menstrual bleeding is excessive, it is important to stop the bleeding immediately and seek medical examination promptly. Women who experience heavy menstrual bleeding with blood clots should avoid taking hormone-containing supplements for boosting qi and blood. Instead, they should maintain a balanced diet and exercise regularly. During the menstrual period, it is important to keep warm and minimize the consumption of cold and raw foods. Emotional well-being also affects menstruation, so it is essential to maintain a positive mindset. Paying attention to these details is of great significance in alleviating symptoms of heavy menstrual bleeding with blood clots.
