Patient's question:
Why is menstrual blood black and what are the reasonsDoctor's answer:
The dark color of menstruation is often due to qi stagnation and blood stasis, where the menstrual blood accumulates in the uterus for a long time, leading to menstrual irregularities. It can be regulated by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and herbs. In this case, you can take motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) and White Chicken Pill (Bai Ji White Phoenix Pill) for regulation. If the bleeding duration exceeds two weeks, consider an ultrasound examination to rule out the possibility of residual blood stasis. Pay attention to hygiene, enhance nutrition, and maintain a calm mood.
