Patient's question:
Daughter has a light menstrual flow. I heard from a friend that she can take Si Quan Da Bu Wan. Can Si Quan Da Bu Wan be taken for a light menstrual flow?Doctor's answer:
It is not recommended to take Si Quan Da Bu Wan orally if you have a low menstrual flow, because a low menstrual flow is mostly caused by spleen and stomach deficiency, qi deficiency, and blood deficiency, leading to physical weakness. Taking Si Quan Da Bu Wan orally may result in the condition of "deficiency not benefiting from tonification." It is advised to combine dietary therapy and herbal supplementation for better results. In terms of diet, focus on qi-tonifying foods. Otherwise, it is mainly necessary to consult a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for pulse-taking and face-to-face diagnosis to provide targeted herbal regulation, which will yield better effects.
