Patient's question:
I always have very little menstruation, and I can't even finish half a pack of sanitary pads. Is this normal? This time it's even less, as if it's about to disappear. I don't know what reasons could lead to this. I got my IUD about two months after giving birth. Is that related? My menstruation has been very little ever since. I also have cervical erosion and have taken medication for it. My endocrine check-up was normal.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation has many causes, which are typically classified into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as menstrual irregularity caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also lead to menstrual irregularity.It is recommended to visit a hospital for a check-up and take medication based on the specific symptoms. In daily life, consume more foods that boost qi and blood, or use traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation, such as angelica sinensis (Dang Gui), astragalus (Huang Qi), and motherwort (Yi Mu Cao). Drink plenty of water, reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to a balanced diet, and engage in regular exercise.
Wishing you good health.
