Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please explain what it means when menstruation only brings a few drops of brown discharge?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be due to blood stasis, where the blood flow is obstructed within the vessels or leaks outside, forming a pathological product in a localized area. Once formed, the blood stasis can further impede normal blood circulation and become a contributing factor to certain diseases, leading to various new symptoms. It is recommended to use blood-activating herbs for treatment, such as decocting motherwort. It could also be a urinary tract infection, but other conditions cannot be ruled out. Drinking more water and avoiding spicy and irritating foods are advisable. Anti-inflammatory medications may also be helpful. It is best to consult a hospital for examination to ensure appropriate treatment.
