After a long time, pigmentation will form and the color of the calf will turn black; If patients with venous thrombosis are taking anticoagulants, the bleeding will be more serious.

1. Qi stagnation and blood stasis type
Its symptoms are abdominal distension and pain before or during menstruation, dark menstrual blood with blood clots. People with such symptoms should reconcile qi and blood, remove blood stasis and relieve pain. Because women mainly live in the liver, the drugs chosen for foot bath are mainly drugs with foot-jueyin entering the liver meridian, and appropriate amount of menstrual vinegar is added, such as 30g of Green Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae Viride, 30g of Linderae Radix, 30g of Motherwort, Chuanxiong 10g, and safflower 10g. Add about two liters of water and about 50 ml of vinegar, boil it with strong fire, and fry it with low fire for 30 minutes. When the medicine is cooled to 50℃, pour the residue into a basin to soak feet. The amount of medicine in the basin should be immersed in the ankle joint. If the liquid medicine is insufficient, add appropriate amount of warm water. The feet keep moving in the medicine, so that the soles of the feet receive slight physical stimulation from the dregs for more than 30 minutes at a time.
2. Yang deficiency and cold excess type
Its symptoms are cold pain in the lower abdomen, less pain in hot compress and chills in hands and feet. The principle of warming channels and dispelling cold should be used to relieve pain. Because there is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that the kidney governs the whole body yang, the drugs selected for foot soaking should be mainly those with insufficient yin entering the kidney meridian, and appropriate amount of salt water should be added, such as cinnamon, clove, linderae, angelica, Ligusticum chuanxiong each 15g, dried ginger, fennel and Evodia rutaecarpa each 6g, and a little salt can be decocted.
3. Deficiency of qi and blood
Its symptom is a dull pain in the lower abdomen during or after menstruation, and there will be slight pain when pressing the abdomen with your hand. The menstrual flow is small and pale, so it is necessary to replenish qi, nourish blood and regulate menstruation. Traditional Chinese medicine is called "spleen regulating blood", and the drugs selected for foot soaking should be mainly drugs that enter the Taiyin spleen meridian, and appropriate amount of sweet water can be added. For example, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, Eucommiae Cortex, and Radix Astragali 15g can be used for foot bath, and appropriate amount of maltose and boiled water can be added.
