Patient's question:
Hello, is there a TCM practitioner available? I have severe menstrual irregularities and am experiencing intense menstrual cramps. After my period ended, I drank another pack of blood-activating and stasis-resolving herbs, which made my already very thin endometrium become soft. This resulted in lower abdominal pain, uterine pain, dry mouth, and dry throat. What should I do?Initially, I drank blood-activating and stasis-resolving herbs for menstrual regulation, and the blood gradually stopped with the pain subsiding. However, after drinking another pack, my lower abdomen pain returned, along with dry mouth and dry throat symptoms. Could you please help me understand the efficacy of this herbal formula?
