Patient's question:
Can women have menstrual periods while taking traditional Chinese medicine? Traditional Chinese medicine is used to treat vaginitis, pelvic effusion, and uterine cold. Since the menstrual period has already started, I don't know if it is okay to focus on taking it.Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese medicine can be used to treat vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease if it contains strong blood-activating ingredients, then it can be taken. During menstruation, it is acceptable to take medication for treating uterine cold. For anti-inflammatory drugs, you can check the instructions to see if they recommend stopping use during the menstrual period. If not, you can take them with peace of mind. Patients with pelvic effusion can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment alongside conventional treatment while understanding the importance of it. In daily life, it is crucial to avoid extreme hunger or overeating, and never indulge in excessive consumption of food and drinks.
