Patient's question:
I have always had irregular periods, so my mom took me to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. After that, she brought several sets of Chinese herbal medicine home to boil. I usually need to go to school, so I only have time at home in the morning when I go to bed and in the evening. When is the best time to take the Chinese herbal medicine for irregular periods?Doctor's answer:
If you are unsure about how to take traditional Chinese medicine for irregular periods, it is recommended to take it one hour after meals. For blood-qi tonifying or spleen-kidney tonifying herbs, it is advisable to take them before meals, as the doctor may have specific instructions. If you cannot contact the doctor, you can take the herbs after meals. For blood-activating and cold-stimulating herbs that may irritate the stomach, it is necessary to take them after meals.Treatment should be guided by a doctor based on the specific condition, and follow-up tests should be scheduled at regular intervals after treatment. The recurrence of gynecological conditions significantly affects women's health, and patients should pay attention to post-period follow-up, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
Finally, we hope that female patients can receive proper and standardized treatment.
