Patient's question:
I have had very little menstrual flow in the past few months. My colleague suggested I take Yimucao Granules. Can you tell me if it's okay to take Yimucao Granules when the menstrual flow is low?Doctor's answer:
General reasons for a light menstrual flow, from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, are primarily considered due to Qi and blood deficiency or the presence of blood clots. From a Western medicine perspective, it may be attributed to significant endocrine imbalance during the menstrual period or insufficient nutrition. It is best to undergo relevant medical examinations at a hospital. If blood clots are present, oral intake of Motherwort Granules can help regulate the condition. Specific medication should be followed under medical advice, and gentle abdominal massage can also be appropriately applied.
