Patient's question:
Irregular menstruation, I sought treatment from a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and received a prescription. Please help the doctors take a look. After drinking it for two days, I've had some diarrhea, going to the bathroom many times a day. Is this due to the prescription? Should I continue taking this medicine?Doctor's answer:
This prescription is indeed a bit cooling, as most herbs that nourish yin and reduce fire are cooling in nature. If you don't have frequent diarrhea, it's not a big issue. In case of necessity, you can take the Chinese patent medicine Shenling Bai Zhu San Granules orally for treatment, or adjust the treatment plan accordingly. Gynecological diseases are prone to occur, and during medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness.
