Patient's question:
Every menstrual cycle lasts more than 7 days. The color seems to get darker towards the end, like brown. Even after 7 days, there are still a few remaining, and it takes 1-2 days to completely disappear. What could be the reason for this? There was an exception once when it only lasted 3 days, but that month it happened twice with very unstable intervals, which makes me very uneasy. Is it because my body is weak? I have been very thin since childhood. Is it because of my stomach problems? I have had ulcers before.Doctor's answer:
Do you have any symptoms of cold? If the color of your menstrual blood is relatively dark, it is usually seen in cases of cold and blood stasis. You can take some motherwort ointment, and it is normal for menstruation to last 5~7 days.
