Patient's question:
Menstrual flow is light, with dark red or brown color. It feels like it has been decreasing every year, to the point where I don't need to change sanitary pads daily and won't leak. After drinking a two-month blood-boosting oral liquid, the color became bright red, but the flow is still light. Can I drink motherwort to regulate it?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, menstrual volume deficiency refers to a condition where the amount of blood flow during menstruation is less than normal, often caused by reasons such as blood deficiency, qi stagnation, blood stasis, cold congealing blood vessels, or phlegm obstruction. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to confirm the cause of the menstrual volume deficiency and then treat it accordingly. It is recommended that you should have an ultrasound and a sex hormone test at the hospital to check the hormone excretion levels and whether there is any adhesion of the uterine cavity, and then treat it accordingly.
