Menstrual periods are scant and dark in color

When women reach their menstrual period, they may find that the color of their menstrual fluid becomes darker and the amount is relatively small. They don’t know what causes it or whether it is abnormal. They worry that it will affect their health and be bad for reproduction. So, is it normal for the menstrual flow to be light and dark in color?

First of all, if a woman has a small amount of menstrual flow and the color is dark, this is an abnormal situation and may be caused by the woman catching a cold. At this time, women need to keep warm, drink some boiled water regularly, and dress appropriately, especially when the seasons change. The feet and abdomen must not get cold. This can gradually improve the situation of small menstrual flow and darker color.

Secondly, if women have less menstrual flow and darker color, it may be due to malnutrition or anemia. At this time, women have qi deficiency and blood deficiency, so during menstruation, the flow will be less and the color will be black or brown. Women at this time should pay attention to the absorption of nutrients, especially to replenish blood and Qi.

In addition, if women have less menstrual flow and darker discharge during menstruation, they should also pay attention to whether there are any abnormalities in the body, especially in the gynecological aspect, such as whether there are gynecological diseases. Only by finding the cause can targeted treatment be provided to improve women's menstrual irregularities and restore their physical and mental health.

Menstruation is the best opportunity for women to detoxify their bodies once a month. Whether the menstruation is normal is a question that many women are concerned about. If my menstrual period suddenly becomes abnormal, I will be very worried and not know what to do. So what should I do if my menstrual flow suddenly becomes light and dark in color?

1. A small amount of menstrual flow and dark color may be caused by menstruation staying in the vagina for a long time or gynecological inflammation. Therefore, you must maintain a stable lifestyle during the menstrual period, and have sex around the time of the menstrual period to prevent bacteria from invading the uterus and causing inflammation.

2. Uterine cold can also cause symptoms such as less menstrual volume and darker color. Therefore, you should avoid eating raw and cold foods in your daily life, and eat less foods that cause yin deficiency and internal heat. Especially during your menstrual period, don't drink cold drinks or eat ice cream, as these can cause uterine cold.

3. If this type of symptom lasts for a very long time, you can try taking some therapeutic drugs orally. In more serious cases, you can treat it through intravenous drip or a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. This type of irregular menstruation symptom is more difficult to eliminate, and it should be treated for a while after it is effective.
