Patient's question:
Before and during the pre-ovulation period, I often get pimples on my chin. Sometimes during intercourse, I experience lower abdominal pain that feels like needing to have a bowel movement, accompanied by nausea. My menstrual flow is light, with only a little on the first day. In the past, it used to be dark blood clots, and I also experienced cold hands and feet. I really love warm things, but my lower abdomen still feels cold and painful. Ovulation test strips don't show ovulation, but ultrasound has confirmed that I do ovulate. My fallopian tubes are also clear. I've taken a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, but it hasn't been very effective. I haven't been able to get pregnant. In the past few years, when I had my period, I also experienced lower abdominal pain accompanied by bowel movements and diarrhea.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you have a light menstrual flow, there are several possible reasons, such as qi and blood deficiency, blood stasis, or abnormal hormone secretion. These can all lead to a reduced menstrual flow and are not harmful to your health. It is recommended to visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination to check for any abnormalities in the uterus and adnexa. You can also have a six-item sex hormone test on the third day of your period to check if your hormone levels are normal. Avoid eating cold foods before and during your period, and pay attention to keeping warm.
