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, and the blood flows intermittently until the next menstrual period. Each case is the same.History of Treatment and Effect: Taken Chinese herbal medicine, but there has been no improvement.
Desired Help: What is the problem? Can I take (Bu Zhong Yi Qi Wan, Ru Zhen Yi Mu Wan)? How to take it? 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 colds, which requires gradual regulation. Acupuncture, a method of Traditional Chinese Medicine, can be used to regulate the menstrual cycle. Acupuncture promotes blood circulation, clears blockages, tonifies the kidneys, soothes the liver, and strengthens the spleen, making it an effective clinical method for regulating menstruation. It is also important to enhance nutrition by consuming foods like fish, beans, eggs, and dairy products.Here is a point therapy for you: Press the Sanyinjiao point, 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 general areas—it should be noticeable. The duration of pressing varies from person to person and should not be too short. You can also massage the point. If the issue is due to a deficiency of qi and blood, consume more foods that replenish qi and blood, such as red dates and peanuts. However, do not blindly trust blood-boosting supplements—food is the best medicine!
