What should I do if my menstrual period is dark in color, with a small amount of flow, and accompanied by discomfort?

Patient's question:

In December 2013, menstrual blood was black, Wanqingsha Hospital, Shiqiao Hospital

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in such cases, a vaginal ultrasound examination and a gynecological examination can be performed. An electrochemical luminescence immunoassay for six hormones should be conducted three to five days after the onset of menstruation to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects the patient's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital, identify the cause, and then receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
