Menstrual period is only a little bit dark brown

Menstruation is the barometer of women's physical health. Women can know their own physical health status based on some manifestations of menstruation. When some abnormal phenomena occur during menstruation or before and after menstruation, women should pay attention to it. When menstruation is abnormal, it is necessary to adjust it in time according to the cause. For example, if the menstrual volume is very small and dark brown, it means that women are suffering from insufficient qi and blood.

The appearance of this symptom is probably related to factors such as insufficient qi and blood, blood stasis, etc., which need to be adjusted slowly. Do not eat spicy food during menstruation, and do not eat raw or cold food. Make sure to keep warm.

These 6 symptoms during menstruation tell you that you are deficient in Qi and blood

1. Diarrhea during menstruation

Diarrhea during menstruation is caused by insufficient Qi and blood. When the menstrual period comes, the limited Qi and blood are mobilized, and the stomach and intestines become increasingly deficient in Qi and blood, resulting in weakened functions. Diarrhea is not unexpected.

Lower abdominal pain, or worsening lower abdominal pain during menstruation, is due to insufficient Qi and blood to nourish the uterus, which is accompanied by symptoms such as poor complexion, cold sweats, fear of cold, fatigue, cold hands and feet, etc.

3. Dark menstrual blood and blood clots

Normal menstrual blood should be bright red in color, and the absence of blood clots indicates that the Qi and blood are abundant. If the Qi and blood are insufficient, blood circulation cannot be promoted. If the blood does not move and stays for a long time, the fresh blood will deteriorate and turn black, forming blood clots.

4. Short menstrual period

Normal menstrual bleeding usually lasts 3 to 7 days, but if the menstrual period is too short, you should pay attention.

According to gynecological experts, short menstruation is mostly caused by endocrine disorders and insufficient estrogen secretion. When women secrete too little estrogen, the circulation rate in the body slows down, and the skin loses its previous luster and elasticity. If this continues for a long time, symptoms of aging are likely to appear.

The amount of menstrual flow varies from woman to woman, but is generally 20 to 100 ml. Excessive menstrual bleeding may be functional uterine bleeding caused by factors such as excessive mental stress, environmental changes, malnutrition, and metabolic disorders. Long-term excessive menstrual blood can cause anemia, and the cause should be identified and treated.

6. Early or delayed menstruation

The normal female cycle is 28 days. If menstruation always comes early, lasts for a long time, and the bleeding cannot be stopped, it is often caused by qi deficiency and ischemia, which leads to physical weakness, poor resistance, frequent colds, fever, and poor complexion. If menstruation is always delayed, it means that there is less blood in the body and there is no extra blood to supply the uterus, which causes the menstrual cycle to be delayed.
