Patient's question:
My wife has irregular periods. Because she is very introverted, she hasn't had a thorough medical check-up at the hospital. She often comforts me by saying that a thorough medical check-up at the hospital is a waste of money. So, there's nothing I can do. What should be avoided when taking Chinese medicine for irregular periods? When taking Chinese medicine, how long should it be decocted? It's best to decoct it many times a day.Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation, if you are taking traditional Chinese medicine, it is best to avoid smoking and drinking beer. Generally, decocting traditional Chinese medicine takes about an hour, and it is sufficient to decoct once a day. You can also decoct one set of traditional Chinese medicine twice, mix the two decoctions together, and drink on an empty stomach in the morning and evening. Pay attention to resting well during the day, and avoid sexual intercourse during the period of irregular menstruation. During the course of taking traditional Chinese medicine, you should also avoid spicy foods.
