Patient's question:
I have endometritis, pelvic effusion, pelvic pain, excessive vaginal discharge, and heavy menstrual bleeding. Except for the issue of dysmenorrhea, I have not been able to get pregnant. I am currently undergoing treatment and take medication every day. It is said that medication should not be taken independently during menstruation. Can I still take anti-inflammatory medication during my period?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, it is indeed not advisable to take these medications during the menstrual period, as they all have the effect of promoting blood circulation. If you usually have a light menstrual flow, taking them orally is acceptable. Generally, the oral effect is better during the menstrual period. However, if the blood flow is particularly heavy, you should not take them. You need to wait a few days after the menstrual flow becomes heavy before taking them again, as taking blood-activating medications with heavy blood flow can lead to abdominal pain.
