What should I do if my menstrual period is too light? It almost disappears in two days.

The amount of menstrual flow in each cycle of women is generally relatively fixed, ranging from three to seven days. However, some women are troubled by the fact that their menstrual flow is too light and almost disappears in two days. In traditional Chinese medicine, the main reason for low menstrual flow is insufficient qi and blood, which is related to staying up late for a long time and irregular diet. Choosing traditional Chinese medicine methods can improve the phenomenon of scanty menstruation. You should eat more iron-rich foods in your daily life.

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

Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon and a sign of a woman's health. However, Chinese medicine believes that menstrual blood is the yin blood of the human body. The continuous loss of menstrual blood will make the female body relatively prone to blood deficiency. Combined with intense work, fast pace of life and bad living habits, women's menstruation will be delayed.

1. Eat more iron-containing and nutritious foods

Patients with scanty menstruation can supplement with iron-rich foods to avoid iron deficiency anemia. Eat more nourishing foods such as black-bone chicken, shrimp, prawns, lamb, fish roe, pork and sheep kidneys, mussels, sea cucumbers, black beans, walnut kernels, etc.

2. Develop good living habits

Develop good living habits, avoid staying up late, overwork, irregular life, etc., which may lead to irregular menstruation. Get your life into a regular routine and your periods may return to normal.

3. Prevent cold

Pay attention to keeping warm and preventing cold, and do not go out in the rain or wade in water during menstruation. Preventing cold is the most critical step.

4. Adjust your mindset

Adjusting your mindset is also crucial. Irregular menstruation is caused by frustration and stress, so you must adjust your mentality.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that to treat scanty menstruation, the cause of the disease should be identified first, and then symptomatic treatment can be given. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that menstrual fluid comes from the kidneys, so the key to regulating menstruation is to nourish the kidneys. The method of tonifying the kidney is mainly to replenish essence and blood. 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 raising yang. The purpose of soothing the liver and regulating qi is to regulate qi and unblock qi and blood. If qi and blood are in harmony, menstruation will be regulated. The method of soothing the liver requires understanding the main symptoms of depression.
