Recently, during menstruation, the blood was dark red or black, and the amount was light.

Patient's question:

1 year ago, menstruation began. Recently, when menstruation occurs, it is dark red or black, with a small amount. Originally, it was 7 days, but sometimes it ends in 3 days.

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 irregularities caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also lead to menstrual irregularities.
Go to the hospital for a check-up and take medication accordingly. In your daily diet, consume more foods that boost qi and blood, or traditional Chinese medicine herbs for regulating menstruation, such as angelica sinensis (Dang Gui), astragalus (Huang Qi), and motherwort (Yi Mu Cao). Drink plenty of water, eat less spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to a balanced diet, and exercise more.
Wishing you good health.
