What is the reason for early menstruation, small amount and dark color?

Menstruation comes early, becomes darker, and is less in volume. This is a problem that many women have. This type of problem is also caused by deficiency of both Qi and blood. Deficiency of Qi and blood is very dangerous for women's reproductive health. If it is not treated and adjusted in time, it will cause women to suffer from a variety of adverse symptoms. So, how to treat women’s qi and blood deficiency?

What causes early menstruation, less volume, and darker color?

Small amount of menstrual blood is mostly caused by low estrogen levels and endocrine imbalance. There are many reasons for the small amount of menstrual flow and dark color. In addition to insufficient corpus luteum function, thyroid cysts, abnormal milk hormone secretion, abortion surgery or uterine wall adhesion are also among the reasons. In addition, it also includes long-term malnutrition, changes in the natural environment, excessive stress, poor medical care during menstruation, colds and so on.

Chinese medicine believes that scanty and dark menstruation is caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, which obstructs the uterine vessels and causes poor blood circulation. Therefore, the color of blood on the first day of menstruation and the last few days when the amount of blood is small is dark brown. It is believed that this may be caused by menstruation staying in the uterine cavity for too long, and is usually accompanied by menstrual pain.

What should I do if my menstrual flow is light and dark?

If the menstrual period is light and dark once or twice, it can be restored by adjusting the work and rest schedule. If the menstrual period is light and dark for a long time, you need to go to the hospital for examination and medication.

Under normal circumstances, women's menstruation is dark red. In addition to blood, there are also uterine wall fragments, cervical mucus and fallen vaginal squamous epithelial cells. Some women have less menstrual flow and dark blood, which may be caused by menstruation being deposited in the uterine cavity for a long time. Because menstruation is mixed with fallen uterine wall fragments, cervical mucus and squamous epithelial cells in the vagina, it looks darker in color and is not as bright red as the blood discharged from skin damage. Some small thin fragments will continue to be mixed in the menstruation. In this case, the small amount of menstrual flow and darkening of the period can be adjusted through diet and lifestyle care:

1. Avoid eating cold food; you can regulate your body through diet therapy such as motherwort soup, brown sugar ginger water, etc.

2. Be careful to clean your reproductive organs before and after sex, and be gentle during sex to avoid damaging the reproductive system.

3. Maintain a stable lifestyle, choose cotton underwear with good breathability, and change them frequently.

4. Avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation.

5. Maintain a happy spirit and learn to adjust negative emotions.
