Patient's question:
It has been four months since my period has been very light, and I only need pads. It's still delayed and almost a week to clean up.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your menstrual flow is light, there are several possible reasons, such as qi and blood deficiency, blood stasis, or abnormal hormone secretion. These can all lead to a decrease in menstrual flow, and it generally doesn't affect 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-panel sex hormone test on the third day of your period to see if your hormone levels are normal. Avoid eating cold or icy foods before and during your period, and pay attention to keeping warm.
