Doctor's answer:
Hello, your menstrual irregularity may be related to hormones in your body. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a blood test to identify the cause before treatment. When blood in the endometrium encounters cold, it slows down and forms blood stasis. As the blood stasis accumulates more and more in the endometrium, it forms blood clots, which is why many women experience blood clots during their period. Pain occurs when there is blockage, and no pain occurs when there is no blockage. After the blood clots are expelled, menstrual cramps will be relieved, which is known as "no blockage, no pain."Ejiao Gao is warm in nature and sweet in taste.
