What should I do if my menstrual flow is very light and almost non-existent?

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon and also an indicator of a woman's physical and mental health. However, traditional Chinese medicine believes that menstruation is the body's yin blood. The continuous consumption of menstruation will make the female body relatively easy to be in a state of blood deficiency. A variety of stressful work, fast pace of life and unhealthy lifestyle will delay women's menstruation.

1. Eat more iron-rich, nourishing foods

Patients with low menstrual flow can supplement some iron-rich foods to prevent iron deficiency anemia. Eat more nourishing foods such as black-bone chicken, green shrimp, grass shrimp, beef, fish roe, pork and sheep kidneys, dried oysters, sea cucumber, black beans, and walnut meat.

2. Cultivate a good lifestyle

Develop a good lifestyle to avoid staying up late, overwork, irregular daily life, etc., which may cause irregular menstruation. Give your daily routine a regular start and your periods will likely return to normal.

3. Avoid getting cold

Pay attention to keeping warm and preventing frostbite. When going out in the rain during menstruation, preventing frostbite is an even more important step.

4. Adjust your own mental state

It is also very important to adjust a good mentality. Irregular menstruation is caused by frustration and excessive stress, so you must adjust your mental state.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that to treat scanty menstruation, the cause of the symptoms must be identified first, and then symptomatic treatment can be given. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that menstruation comes from the kidneys, so the basis for regulating menstruation lies in tonifying the kidneys and strengthening yang. The method of tonifying the kidney and strengthening yang is to replenish the dominant essence and qi. The function of the spleen is to produce blood. Nourishing the spleen and stomach can replenish the body's blood supply. The spleen-strengthening method focuses on strengthening the spleen and stomach and generating yang. The purpose of soothing the liver and regulating qi is to regulate the qi wheel and transport blood and qi. If the blood and qi are in harmony, the menstrual period will be smooth. The method of soothing the liver and regulating qi must grasp the main symptoms of depression.

What is the reason for less menstrual flow?

1. Excessive dieting for weight loss There are various reasons for weight loss. Many women have strict requirements on their body shape. Women's menstruation is closely related to weight and body fat rate. In particular, women who have menstrual problems should stop dieting, increase nutrition, and recover as soon as possible.

2. Excessive work and rest schedule, endocrine imbalance, fast-paced life, high-intensity work, and if you encounter those uncomfortable days every month, it is estimated that many women will be hurt. If you do not pay attention to maintaining a stable work and rest schedule and relax at this time, it is likely to cause oligomenorrhea.

3. Women with depression who are often angry should not hold back when they feel depressed. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, depression can easily lead to liver qi stagnation, which can lead to less menstrual flow. In addition, excessive mental stimulation, anxiety and psychological trauma can also lead to oligomenorrhea.

4. After abortion, the uterus and ovaries can generally resume ovulation function within 22 days, and menstruation will occur around January. However, a very small number of women experience prolonged menstruation, irregular cycle duration, and amenorrhea after abortion, which usually recover after 2-3 months.

5. Ovarian failure. The function of the ovaries directly affects women's menstrual period. In the late menstruation, the menstrual flow is small. Most modern scientists believe that it is related to poor uterine development or anovulation. Therefore, promoting ovulation and strengthening the ovaries are the key steps in treating oligomenorrhea.

6. Breast diseases: Many women experience premenstrual breast pain but little menstrual flow. Do not ignore this matter. Breast pain and other symptoms may be caused by liver qi stagnation, and you need to soothe the liver and regulate qi, connect the blood vessels, and thus achieve the overall effect of regulating menstruation.
