Patient's question:
Doctor, this is the traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by the doctor for my menstrual irregularities. There is one ingredient missing—Ejiao (). Does it interfere with the medicine?Doctor's answer:
I see your menstrual cycle is irregular, and it says the amount of menstrual flow is reduced. A reduced amount of menstrual flow is mostly due to insufficient qi. The formula includes strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi. Replenishing qi, replenishing the kidneys, nourishing yin, promoting blood circulation, and regulating the menstrual cycle are mostly about nourishing and toning. The absence of Ejiao () won't have too much interference. I suggest using some dried tangerine peel and cardamom. For gynecological patients, in addition to receiving proper medical treatment, it's also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as paying more attention to personal hygiene, avoiding sexual activity during medication, maintaining cleanliness, refraining from sexual intercourse, and eating less spicy and irritating foods.
