Patient's question:
Abnormal white discharge, taking traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by a TCM doctor, said to have the effect of removing dampness. Just had one dose today, and I came on my period in the afternoon. Can I still focus on taking the traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is not advisable to treat gynecological diseases during the menstrual period. It is recommended that you avoid drinking during your period and focus on treatment after it ends. Pay attention to hygiene during your period, and contact us if there are any issues. Patients facing abnormal vaginal discharge should actively undergo thorough examinations and treatments, without avoiding medical visits. If abnormal vaginal discharge does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly switch to an alternative treatment plan. Medication can be used, but it is also necessary to avoid cold exposure and reduce alcohol consumption to prevent worsening the condition.
