Patient's question:
During menstruation, there are small blood clots, mild dysmenorrhea. I have received intravenous nitrofurantoin and levofloxacin for eight days, and taken Fuping capsules and traditional Chinese medicine.Previous Treatment and Effects: The effects were not ideal.
Type of Help Needed: I would like to ask if there are any views on the effectiveness of intravenous fluids during the menstrual period. Additionally, can medication be taken outside of the menstrual period?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the menstrual period is a relatively special time, during which the body's resistance may weaken. It is generally not advisable to take medicine indiscriminately. If you are really not feeling well, you can take medicine under the guidance of a doctor.Menstrual pain with blood clots is often due to blood stasis in the body, which could be caused by cold congealing in the meridians. In this case, you can take Wenyi Decoction. Alternatively, it could be due to qi deficiency, leading to weak promotion and blood stasis lingering in the uterus. In such cases, you might try Siwu Decoction.
