Patient's question:
I have very little menstrual flow for the first three days of my period each month. Sometimes, it's mixed with blood streaks in my leukorrhea. Then, on the fourth and fifth days, the flow increases, and it decreases again after five days, becoming clean.What I want to ask is whether the light flow during the first two or three days is my period? Is my menstrual cycle normal?
Additional question: I am 27 years old. During the heavy flow days, I have blood clots. I also have chronic pelvic inflammation and mild cervical erosion.
Doctor's answer:
Blood clots, abdominal pain before menstruation, indicate cold stagnation, qi stagnation, and blood stasis in the body. Treatment requires resolving blood stasis, dispelling cold, and relieving pain.Tianqi Baifeng Pill tonifies qi, nourishes blood, regulates menstruation, and stops leukorrhea. It is used for qi and blood deficiency, menstrual irregularity, lower back and leg weakness, and excessive leukorrhea.
However, motherwort (Leonurus japonicus) and jujubes (Ziziphus jujuba) boiled with brown sugar as a tea may be more beneficial for your condition.
Additionally, pay attention to menstrual health care, such as avoiding excessively low air conditioning temperatures, cold beverages, strenuous exercise, and sexual intercourse during your period. During abdominal pain, you can place a warm water bag on your lower abdomen to alleviate the pain.
