Low menstrual flow is not necessarily caused by deficiency of qi and blood, but may be related to kidney deficiency, blood deficiency, blood cold, blood stasis, corresponding to the use of angelica dihuang drink, nourishing blood drink, warm menstruation soup, bloodfu and blood stasis soup, etc. We suggest that patients follow the doctor’s instructions to identify and use the medication.
In addition to low menstrual flow, patients with kidney deficiency syndrome often have pale blood color, soreness and weakness of waist and knees, and frequent urination, etc. Patients with kidney deficiency syndrome need to tonify the kidneys and enrich the essence (replenish the kidney essence in the body), nourish the blood and regulate menstruation (regulate menstrual irregularities caused by blood deficiency), and can use Angelica Digitata Drink with additional subtractions.
In addition to low menstrual flow, patients with Blood deficiency syndrome often have pale red menstruation, dizziness, palpitations (rapid heartbeat, often accompanied by panic), insomnia, and unmoisturized skin, so they need to strengthen the Spleen, replenish the Qi, nourish the Blood and regulate menstruation, which can be achieved by adding or subtracting Blood Nourishing Soup and Four Substances Soup. This syndrome is often accompanied by qi deficiency, which requires tonifying qi and blood, and is often treated with Ba Zhen Tang.
In addition to low menstrual flow, patients with Blood Cold syndrome often have dull red color, cold pain in the abdomen, pain that decreases when there is heat, fear of cold limbs (fear of cold, cold limbs), and greenish white color, which requires warming the menstruation and dispersing the cold (warming the meridians and collaterals of the human body and removing the cold from the body), and activating the blood and regulating the menstruation (regulating the menstruation by activating the blood), so Warming Menstruation Soup can be used with additional subtractions.
In addition to low menstrual flow, patients with blood stasis syndrome often have purple-black color with lumps, tingling in the abdomen and refusing to be pressed, pain that subsides after the blood clots are removed, or petechiae or ecchymosis, which require regulating Qi and activating Blood and resolving blood stasis to regulate menstruation, and can be treated with additional subtractions of Hematophoric and Blood Stasis Dispersing Tang.
It is suggested that if there is a problem of scanty menstruation, one can go to the Chinese medicine department for consultation, and regulate the menstruation after identifying the symptoms, and should not use medicines on one’s own.
