Patient's question:
Last year, I had an abortion, and since then, my menstrual flow has been less than before. However, I haven't experienced any other symptoms. About my past treatment and its effectiveness: Currently, I am taking Yimucao Granules. I would like to ask if continuing this might lead to infertility. Can Yimucao Granules also be taken during the menstrual period?Doctor's answer:
Hello, taking less amount of Yimucao Pian (Motherwort Paste) can have a certain effect, but it is recommended not to use medication casually: There are several reasons for reduced menstrual volume, such as endocrine disorders, gynecological inflammation, changes in the mental environment, and anemia. Additionally, it may be due to issues with the endometrium itself, such as endometrial tuberculosis causing endometrial inflammation or thinning of the endometrium due to artificial abortion or D&C. Long-term reduced menstrual volume may lead to amenorrhea or infertility. It is important to seek medical attention promptly, undergo a thorough examination to identify the cause, and actively treat the symptoms accordingly to avoid affecting overall health. Once the cause is found, targeted treatment should be administered. The recurrence of gynecological diseases severely impacts women's health. Patients should pay attention during treatment and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, personal hygiene should be maintained. It is hoped that female patients can receive professional treatment.
