Patient's question:
Medical Description: Each menstrual period lasts for 7 days (color is light red). After the period, it only cleans up for 6 days, then (lower abdominal pain) with blood (amount is not much, color is light red, with a small amount of blood clots) (lower abdominal pain stops) blood comes out, blood flows intermittently until the next menstrual period, and this happens every time.Past Treatment and Effects: Taken Chinese herbal medicine, but it did not improve.
Desired Help: What is the problem? Can I take (Buzhong Yiqi Pills, Ruzhen Yimu Pills)? How to take them? Before or after the menstrual period? For how long?
Doctor's answer:
A reduced menstrual flow is related to factors such as long-term deficiency of qi and blood, and catching cold. This requires gradual regulation. Acupuncture, a method of Traditional Chinese Medicine, can be used to regulate the menstrual cycle. Acupuncture promotes blood circulation, clears stagnation, tonifies the kidneys, soothes the liver, and strengthens the spleen, making it an effective clinical method for regulating menstruation. Enhance your nutrition by consuming foods like fish, beans, eggs, and dairy.Here’s a point therapy for you: Press the Sanyinjiao point. It is located 7 centimeters above the inner ankle, on both the left and right feet. Remember that the sensation of pain when pressing the point is different from pressing on ordinary areas—it should be noticeable. The duration of pressing varies from person to person and should not be too short. You can also gently rub the area. If your symptoms are mild, it may indicate qi and blood deficiency. In daily life, consume more foods that replenish qi and blood, such as jujubes and peanuts. However, don’t blindly trust blood-boosting supplements—food is the best medicine!
