Patient's question:
I have anemia and usually take Ferrous Sulfate Folic Acid Tablets and Jianpi Shengxue Granules. During my period, I take Fuhu An tablets, but as a result, my menstrual flow increased and I experienced dizziness again. Are these medications conflicting?Doctor's answer:
Your menstrual flow is excessive, which can lead to iron deficiency anemia and may cause symptoms such as dizziness and nausea. It is recommended to have a blood test, pelvic and adnexal color Doppler ultrasound, and a gynecological internal examination to determine the cause of the heavy menstrual flow. If it is iron deficiency anemia, iron supplements can be taken for treatment. For gynecological patients, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Lastly, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations.
