Patient's question:
Symptom Description: The first three days of my period are okay, but on the fourth day, I have some cramps during the day but almost none at night. From the fifth to the eighth day, the bleeding is very light. My menstrual cycle is quite regular, usually coming two days earlier each time. I have cervical erosion (degree II), and I'm wondering if it's related to this. Medical History and Treatment Effects: My menstrual flow has been irregular, and I haven't received any treatment. Desired Help: I hope my period becomes normal. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
The motherwort granules have the function of invigorating blood and resolving stasis, which has a good therapeutic effect on reduced menstrual flow and requires attention. It is necessary to identify the cause of the reduced menstrual flow and provide treatment accordingly. There are many reasons for reduced menstrual flow, such as endocrine disorders, gynecological inflammation, changes in the mental environment, anemia, etc. It is recommended to visit the hospital for timely examination, clarify the cause, and actively provide symptomatic treatment to avoid affecting health. Once the cause is identified, targeted treatment should be administered.A menstrual flow of 30-50 ml is considered normal. If the menstrual flow is less than 20 ml or the menstrual period lasts less than 2 days, it is classified as hypomenorrhea, which is often caused by hypofunction of the pituitary gland, leading to insufficient secretion of estrogen by the ovaries, resulting in inadequate endometrial proliferation. Other causes include uterine lesions, poor endometrial development, as well as factors such as mental tension, medication, and anemia.
In daily diet, attention should also be paid. One week before the onset of menstruation, the diet should be light, easily digestible, and rich in nutrients. It is advisable to consume more high-protein foods such as beans and fish, as well as leafy vegetables and fruits. Drinking plenty of water is also recommended to maintain bowel regularity and reduce pelvic congestion. During the initial phase of menstruation, women often experience lower back pain and a lack of appetite. In such cases, it is beneficial to eat palatable and easily digestible foods, such as jujubes, noodles, and Job's tears porridge.
It is recommended to visit the hospital for examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive symptomatic treatment.
