Patient's question:
My mother has already gone through menopause, and she's also entered the menopausal period. She's 48 this year. I want to adjust her endocrine, so I'm thinking of taking Xiao Yao Wan. I'm not sure if it's good to take Xiao Yao Wan after menopause, if it's effective, and if it will have any bad effects on the body. Health and safety must come first! I hope everyone can give me some advice based on this.Doctor's answer:
Xiao Yao Wan mainly has the effects of regulating endocrine, adjusting the central nervous system, protecting the liver, enhancing intestinal peristalsis, and reducing the adverse reactions of the anticancer drug cisplatin. Note that it should be used with caution for those with liver and kidney yin deficiency, qi stagnation, resulting in costal and hypochondriac pain, chest and abdominal distension, dry throat, lack of oral fluid, red tongue without coating, and deep, thready pulse. Pregnant women should avoid taking it. Based on its functions, you can decide for yourself if it is suitable for your condition. It should be okay to take.
