Patient's question:
Hello, I have an ovarian cyst and am taking Guizhi Fuling capsules orally. Can I take them during my period?Doctor's answer:
Do not take medication during your period. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that ovarian cysts are primarily caused by deficiency of qi and blood, and the accumulation of dampness-heat. Bupleurum and Magnoliae Cortex Capsules are unlikely to be effective. It is recommended that you adopt a traditional Chinese medicine treatment combining herbs such as Bletilla striata, Stephania tetrandra, Ophiopogon japonicus, Eel Colla, Agkistrodon, Polygonum multiflorum, Panax japonicus, Panax notoginseng, Iron Gall Powder, Human Placenta, White Fish Oil, Achyranthes bidentata, Cervid Antler Ash, and Paeonia lactiflora (both white and red). The combination of these traditional herbs can quickly clear the long-term accumulation of old shed cells and blood clots in the uterus and vagina, with fast and effective results.
