Patient's question:
Every time I have my period, I feel like I'm dying and coming back to life, and it's mixed with black blood clots. I break out in cold sweat all over my body. After being nourished by motherwort, the condition returned to normal after stopping the medication. I know I have a bit of uterine cold and qi stagnation and blood stasis. Moxibustion can relax muscles and activate meridians, but can moxibustion worsen menstrual disorders?Doctor's answer:
Considering your condition is menstrual irregularity caused by uterine cold, you can use moxibustion to regulate your menstrual cycle. During this period, avoid eating too many cold and stimulating foods to prevent worsening uterine cold symptoms. Drinking brown sugar water can help promote blood circulation, replenish qi, and warm the uterus. You can also take traditional Chinese medicine under the guidance of a doctor to stabilize uterine cold symptoms. Regulate your physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
